Celebrating the variety and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sunny Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess at sea to a love story on the moon.

Drifters looking for work, George and his childlike friend Lennie have nothing but the clothes on their backs—and a dream that one day they will own their own land. Along the way, they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are shattered as Lennie falls victim to his own strength. Exploring universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, "Of Mice and Men" remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, a play, and three acclaimed films.
