Synopsis "La Luna se ha Puesto (in Spanish)"

Inspirada en las luchas ideológicas y los conflictos armados de nuestro tiempo, la novela recrea el tenso ambiente de un pueblo recién invadido. En una época imprecisa, un pueblo sin localización concreta y un ejército anónimo protagonizan una guerra que bien pudiera ser cualquiera. Se trata del drama de unos vencedores que se saben vencidos, que pueden matar pero no imponerse, que se abruman frente a la enconada hostilidad, la fingida sumisión, la solapada resistencia y por último, la violencia liberadora de un pueblo que se considera independiente. La luna siempre vuelve a salir para los pueblos que resisten, nos dice el autor, mediante una escritura épica que se vuelve contundente en su propia sencillez. Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1962, Steinbeck aceptó el galardón tras destacar la ineludible responsabilidad del escritor como portavoz de injusticias.

John Steinbeck (1902- 1968) was born in Salinas, California. He studied at Stanford University and during his youth worked as a laborer and fruit picker. His first success was Tortilla Flat (1935), a story between picaresque and romantic about Mexican immigrants settled around Monterey (California). In 1936, he wrote a series of seven reports for The San Francisco News, which he later published as The Harvest Gypsies. In 1939, his most famous work appeared: The Grapes of Wrath (Pulitzer Prize 1940), which tells the sad story of a family from the impoverished state of Oklahoma that migrates to California during the economic depression of the thirties; this work, received as a moving document of social protest, was adapted into a film by John Ford in 1940. Among his extensive literary work are also the novels Of Mice and Men (1936), The Pearl (1947) and East of Eden (1962), and screenplays for movies, such as the one he wrote for Viva Zapata! by Elia Kazan. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
