Then a series of unusual events reignites Ethan's ambition, and he is pitched on to a bold course where all scruples are put aside Steinbeck's searing examination of the evil influences of money, immorality, greed and ambition in America drew acclaim from the Nobel Committee who hailed him as an'independent expounder of the truth'.
