     When The Grapes of Wrath(愤怒) was published on March 14, 1939, it created a national

sensation(轰动) for its description of the destructive effects of the Great Depression(大萧条) of the

1930s. By the end of April, it was selling 2,500 copies a day-a remarkable number considering the

hard economic times. In May, the novel was a number-one best-seller, selling at a rate of 10,000

copies a week. By the end of 1939, close to a half million copies had been sold.

     John Steinbeck was shocked by the tremendous response to his novel. Almost overnight, he found

himself involved in a great national debate over the migrant labor problem. Many people were shocked

by the poverty and hopelessness of the story, and others denied that such circumstances could happen in

America. Even people who had never read a book before bought a copy of The Grapes of Wrath. At $2.75 per copy, it was affordable and quickly sold out.

     However it was banned and burned in Buffalo, New York; East Saint Louis, Illinois; and Kern

County, California, where much of the novel is set. In fact, the novel remains one of the most frequently

banned books in the United States. The book was criticized sharply in Congress by Representative Lyle

Boren of Oklahoma, who called the novel's description of migrant living conditions a lie. Charges were

made that "obscenity"(淫秽) had been included in the book in large part to sell more copies. Eventually,

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt stepped in to praise the book and defend Steinbeck against his critics. In

1940, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize.

     The popularity of the novel has endured(持久). It is estimated that it has sold fifteen million copies

since its publication. For almost sixty years, Steinbeck's novel has been a classic in American literature;

it has been translated into several languages, including French, German, and Japanese. The Grapes of

Wrath has also been a necessary part of the school curriculum in America since the end of World War II.
