El autobús perdido

John Steinbeck wrote this novel just after his great success, The Grapes of Wrath. It tells the story of a perilous journey on a rural bus between the towns of Rebel Corners and San Juan de la Cruz, California, at the end of World War II. It is a masterful portrait of its characters and a sharp study of the central problems of all people throughout history: family, sex, love, ambition, frustrations, and longings. This work avoids sentimentality and self-indulgence. It is an inner journey into the hearts of travelers lost in the disillusionment of the American Dream.
