Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Lenny is two meters tall and has terrifying strength, but he has the mind of a child and often gets into trouble. His only friend is George, who grew up with him. George takes him to do odd jobs to make a living. They have a dream that one day they can have their own small piece of land, a hut, a cow, a rabbit cage, and some chickens. However, such a humble request is just a dream.
This time, they wandered to a farm. The endless wandering life finally came to an end, but the dream also came to an end. George finally helped Lennie find a place. There, Lennie would never get into trouble again, never get hurt again, and never have to run away again...
"Of Mice and Men" was first published in 1937 and is one of John Steinbeck's representative works. The title of the book comes from the poem by British poet Burns, "Among mice and men, the best-laid plans are often unexpected", which implies the tragic fate of the little people.
