About this ebook

Unul dintre simbolurile progresului, Calea Ferata, este denaturat de coruptia si lacomia Companiei "Southwestern Pacific Railway".
Aceasta, prin cresterea tarifelor de transport, declanseaza reactia fermierilor, iar în momentul în care stabileste preturi ridicate pentru vanzarea terenurilor arendate lor, conflictul ia proportii si se ajunge la varsare de sange. Comunitatea fermierilor este distrusa, iar Compania ramane atotputernica, asemenea unei caracatite care s-a întins si a acaparat însorita si fertila Vale San Joaquin din California.

Author

Frank Norris

Frank Norris was an American author who wrote primarily in the naturalist genre, focusing on the impact of corruption and turn-of-the-century capitalism on common people. Best known for his novel McTeague and for the first two parts of his unfinished The Epic of the Wheat trilogy—The Octopus: A Story of California and The Pit, Norris wrote prolifically during his lifetime. Following his education at the Académie Julian in Paris, University of California, Berkeley, and at Harvard University, Norris worked as a news correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, and covered the Spanish-American War in Cuba for McClure’s Magazine. Norris died suddenly in 1902 of peritonitis, leaving The Wolf: A Story of Empire, the final part of his Wheat trilogy, incomplete.
