Früchte des Zorns (Titel des englischen Originals von 1939: The Grapes of Wrath) ist das bekannteste Werk des US-amerikanischen Schriftstellers und späteren Nobelpreisträgers John Steinbeck, für das er 1940 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde. Das Magazin Time zählt den Roman zu den besten 100 englischsprachigen Romanen, die zwischen 1923 und 2005 veröffentlicht wurden.
Der sozialkritische und naturalistisch geschriebene Roman schildert das Schicksal der in den 1930er Jahren durch die „Große Depression“ und Dürrejahre hoch verschuldeten Farmer in Oklahoma und Arkansas, die von den Grundbesitzern vertrieben werden und von der Dust Bowl zu Hunderttausenden über die Route 66 nach Kalifornien ziehen. Statt der versprochenen gut bezahlten Arbeit erwarten sie dort Ausbeutung, Hunger und Anfeindung. Um den Treck und die Auffanglager authentisch schildern zu können, begleitete Steinbeck selbst einen solchen Treck nach Westen.

Work Description
Steinbeck’s classic novel of the Great Depression is as vivid now as ever. The story focuses on a family of Oklahoma sharecroppers, farmers who work another man’s land for a share of the crops. Driven from their home by drought and poverty they take to the road in a battered old truck and make their way to California to look for work. When they arrive they find hundreds of others like them being forced to work for breadline wages. they begin working as fruit pickers, strike-breakers replacing the people who have been trying to establish a union but their consciences force them to leave.
