Synopsis "En la Jungla de la Noche (in Spanish)"

Joe Saul podría ser cualquiera, un acróbata, un granjero o un marinero, movido por el intenso deseo de transmitir a un hijo toda la herencia de los suyos. ¿Es capaz de conseguirlo? ¿Y de entender qué escollos debe superar por el camino? En esta dramática obra, escrita siguiendo la misma fórmula de De ratones y hombres y La luna se ha puesto, John Steinbeck reflexiona con desgarro sobre el valor de la sangre, el legado, el orgullo y la amistad, sobre pasiones primarias del hombre y sobre la serenidad necesaria para comprenderlas. Como señaló el propio autor en su discurso de aceptación del premio Nobel de Literatura en 1962, «debemos buscar en nuestro interior la responsabilidad y la sabiduría que en su día nuestros rezos quisieron adjudicar a alguna deidad».

John Steinbeck (1902- 1968) was born in Salinas, California. He studied at Stanford University and during his youth worked as a laborer and fruit picker. His first success was Tortilla Flat (1935), a story between picaresque and romantic about Mexican immigrants settled around Monterey (California). In 1936, he wrote a series of seven reports for The San Francisco News, which he later published as The Harvest Gypsies. In 1939, his most famous work appeared: The Grapes of Wrath (Pulitzer Prize 1940), which tells the sad story of a family from the impoverished state of Oklahoma that migrates to California during the economic depression of the thirties; this work, received as a moving document of social protest, was adapted into a film by John Ford in 1940. Among his extensive literary work are also the novels Of Mice and Men (1936), The Pearl (1947) and East of Eden (1962), and screenplays for movies, such as the one he wrote for Viva Zapata! by Elia Kazan. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
