Books Descriptions
A stunning evocation of America on the eve of a tumultuous decade?and a
moving elegy for more innocent times.In September 1960, John Steinbeck and
his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to
growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by
Steinbeck?s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of
how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature?to
weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions
among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that
preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.?1962 John Steinbeck
