The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939.^[2] The book won the National Book Award^[3] and Pulitzer Prize^[4] for fiction, and it was cited prominently when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962.^[5]

Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, agricultural industry changes, and bank foreclosures forcing tenant farmers out of work. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they are trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California on the "mother road", along with thousands of other "Okies" seeking jobs, land, dignity, and a future.

The Grapes of Wrath is often listed as among the greatest novels in the English language and as a contender for the Great American Novel. It is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy.^[6] A Hollywood film version, starring Henry Fonda and directed by John Ford, was released in 1940.
