Tobacco Road
of Erskine Caldwell, Lewis Nordan (Foreword by), David Fredenthal (Illustrator)
Description
The classic novel of a Georgia family undone by the Great Depression: â[A] story of force and beautyâ (New York Post). Even before the Great Depression struck, Jeeter Lester and his family were desperately poor sharecroppers. But when hard times begin to affect the families that once helped support them, the Lesters slip completely into the abyss. Rather than hold on to each other for support, Jeeter, his wife Ada, and their twelve children are overcome by the fractured and violent society around them. Banned and burned when first released in 1932, Tobacco Road is a brutal examination of povertyâs dehumanizing influence by one of Americaâs great masters of political fiction.
