Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except each other, and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and jealousy becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes, friendship and a shared vision and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice And Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work.
