Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925175959811,"sku":"9780141185101","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9780141185101_9151df41-5f59-4f18-82b3-ae34c76aaba5.jpg?v=1731403949","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9780141185101","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
