Changing blogging domain and site

Image
Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around. One thing one can say about Blogger is that it is easy to work with.  This site will no longer be updated Follow me to my new domain @  thecontentreader.com Hope to see you there.  Lisbeth @ The Content Reader

6 May in literature

6 May in 1940, John Steinbeck is awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Grapes of Wrath.

This is one of Stenbeck's most famous book about the Joad family from Oklahoma who moves to California when they lose their family farm. They search for a better life but the times were hard and they slid into poverty. A typical book of Stenbeck with plain-spoken language, rich plot and rich and colourful descriptions makes it one of his best books on social criticism. The novel also won the National Book Award and was probably one of the reasons why he won the Nobel Prize in 1962.

Other famous books are: Tortilla Flat, Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row, The Pearl, Forgotten Village, Viva Zapata, Travels with Charlie and East of Eden.

He died in New York in 1968.
