literary universe, part 2: John Steinbeck John Updike Maybe I would have never discovered John Steinbeck, when Bruce Springsteen would not have been. No, the boss did not call me, and I recommended to John Steinbeck, but it was something like that.
One day I was told that Bruce Springsteen would bring out a new album. The title of the album was "The Ghost of Tom Joad." Tom Joad is the hero or - if you will - "Anti-hero" from Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath". So I got up, and bought the CD. I was particularly impressed from the beginning of the title song. The famous passage (which will be discussed yet) touched me deeply. I knew Bruce Springsteen as a singer of ballads, but a few months after the publication of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" I went to a concert that I would never forget.
Bruce Springsteen played very soft sounds. And with the interpretation of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" he gave me the feeling that a very great musician to be. Of course, I would have previously been able to know that Bruce is not called "Boss" mentioned but there is this quiet album that I still very particular in his musical Guess work. The concert attendees expected in part, that he liked big aufrocken, but puff pastry: There was no stone on the other, Bruce Springsteen wanted the honor of Tom Joad, and he did.
The character of Tom Joad is, through which I learned to appreciate "The Grapes of Wrath". The novel may inspire a whole without question a strong energy in itself, readers all over the world, but the initial spark, the incredible presence of the novel is based completely on the de-ranged guy who went down in literary history.
Mom wherever there's a cop beatin 'a guy Wherever a newborn baby cries Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air Look for me Mom I'll be there Wherever there's somebody fightin' stand for a place to Or decent job or a helpin to be Free Look ' Wherever somebody's strugglin hand' in their eyes Mom you'll see me.
(John Steinbeck)
Who Reads "The Grapes of Wrath," which will close friendship with Tom Joad, unless the reader has a heart of stone.
I then several works by John Steinbeck have read. "East of Eden" is a bombastic Roman, absolutely, "Of Mice and Men" lives from the presentation of an unusual friendship, but "The Grapes of Wrath" to point to one to heart softening beautiful way what it means to love life, and death can not be seen as an enemy .
