         SI USTED ES UN PESCADOR Y DE PRONTO le sonríe la suerte con la posibilidad de un cambio de fortuna, usted tiene derecho a muchos sueños; a alegrarse, a soñar con darle a su hijo, estudio, alimentación y seguridad; a querer cambiar su entorno familiar por algo más confortable y digno. Si usted consigue, no una perla, sino “la perla del mundo”, usted tiene la decisión de vendérsela a quien mejor le pague porque sus sueños esperan que usted los materialice; su familia espera, por eso no puede recibir lo que primero le ofrezcan porque se dejaría engañar. Pero qué sucede si su hijo es mordido por un arraclán y está en peligro de muerte, y el médico no lo atiende porque usted es pobre; necesita el dinero, ciertamente, pero usted no puede dejarse engañar aún en esa situación.

         IF YOU ARE A FISHERMAN AND LUCK SERVES YOU with the possibility of a change of fortune, you have the right to many dreams; to rejoice, to dream of giving your child, study, food and security; to want to change your family environment for something more comfortable and dignified. If you find, not a pearl, but "the pearl of the world", you have the decision to sell it to whoever pays you better because your dreams are waiting for you to materialize them; your family is waiting, that is why you cannot receive the first thing they offer you because they would cheat you. But what if your child is bitten by an arraclan and is in danger of death, and the doctor won't treat him because you are poor; you need the money, certainly, but you can't be fooled even in that situation.

         No voy a contarles la trama de esta novela de John Steinbeck porque ganan más si la leen. Es una obra corta, que se vuelve una obsesión en la medida que avanzamos en su lectura; el impulso frenético por devorar la siguiente página es tan fuerte que crea una tensión; el corazón se agita porque no deseamos que el protagonista sea alcanzado por sus perseguidores, queremos que llegue al pueblo inmediato, que a su hijo lo vea un médico y que a su esposa no le pase nada. John Steinbeck nos hace ser parte de esta angustia, no queremos que nada malo le ocurra a Kino, pero las fuerzas del mal operan con el mismo ímpetu, y la desgracia lo atrapa.

         Publicada en 1947, en ella encontramos la postura de Steinbeck en favor del pobre, de sus luchas desiguales frente a los ricos, ante la envidia; una obra cargada de simbolismo, que condesa una excelente crítica social, una filosofía particular e invita a una reflexión sobre los valores de la humanidad.

         En pocas palabras John Steinbeck crea un universo literario, donde la alegría, el miedo, la esperanza, los sueños, las virtudes convergen en un contraste de personajes simbólicos y con un lenguaje endemoniadamente estético.

         I am not going to tell you the plot of this novel by John Steinbeck because you gain more if you read it. It is a short work, which becomes an obsession as we advance in its reading; the frantic impulse to devour the next page is so strong that it creates a tension; the heart is agitated because we do not want the protagonist to be reached by his pursuers, we want him to reach the immediate town, that his son is seen by a doctor and that nothing happens to his wife. John Steinbeck makes us part of this anguish, we do not want anything bad to happen to Kino, but the forces of evil operate with the same impetus, and misfortune catches him.

         Published in 1947, in it we find Steinbeck's position in favor of the poor, of their unequal struggles against the rich, against envy; a work full of symbolism, which contains an excellent social criticism, a particular philosophy and invites to a reflection on the values of humanity.

         In short, John Steinbeck creates a literary universe in which joy, fear, hope, dreams and virtues converge in a contrast of symbolic characters and a devilishly aesthetic language.
