Synopsis "Los Crisantemos (in Spanish)"

Esta pequeña obra maestra de Steinbeck retrata la vida de Elisa Allen, una mujer fuerte y apasionada, que lleva una existencia sin brillo, dedicada a su hogar. Casada con un granjero de California, su única ilusión y orgullo es el cultivo de sus flores. La aparición de un buhonero le hará cuestionarse, en cierto modo, su condición de mujer. Aparecido por primera vez en 1937 en la revista Harper, el autor norteamericano nos habla de la cuestión del género de una manera sutil y delicada. Es un momento en el que el mundo de las mujeres está dominado por los hombres, que impiden su realización personal, social y sexual. El simbolismo que subyace a lo largo de toda la obra hace que sea uno de los relatos cortos más bellos e imprescindibles del ganador del Premio Nobel en 1962.

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.
