The Grapes of Wrath, written by John Steinbeck, is a powerful novel depicting the struggles of the Joad family during the Great Depression as they journey from Oklahoma to California in search of a better life.

The first edition of 'The Grapes of Wrath' published by Viking Press would be bound in beige cloth with the title and author's name printed on the spine and front cover, without the Pulitzer Prize mention since it was awarded in 1940, after the first edition release.
