A tender, unsentimental portrait of a boy's growth into manhood on a California ranch, through the loss of his red pony.
The Red Pony is a short novel by John Steinbeck (Penguin, 112 pages), a tender yet unsentimental portrait of a boy's journey towards manhood. Living on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, young Jody Tiflin is given a red pony by his stern, undemonstrative father. In caring for the pony, Jody learns hard lessons about life, death, responsibility and loss, as he moves from the carefree world of childhood into a more complicated adult understanding of the world. Composed of four closely linked stories, The Red Pony is a stark and compassionate study of adolescence, set against the harsh beauty of the California ranchlands that Steinbeck knew and loved. John Steinbeck (1902-68), winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for literature, is remembered as one of the greatest and best-loved American writers of the twentieth century.
