Oonche Parvat by John Arnust Steinbeck [Paperback]

"In this book, Steinbeck has portrayed poor farmers and the common people with great compassion. Regionalism is another distinctive feature of this novel by Steinbeck. In terms of subject matter and style, it is a far stronger work than many of its contemporaries. Steinbeck has immense faith in the capabilities of ordinary people, which becomes evident when reading this book.
The Red Pony powerfully depicts the lives, aspirations, and hopes of farmers in the mountainous region of California. John Steinbeck holds a very high place among American novelists. This novel of his has been highly praised by both readers and critics."
