Download Travels with Charley in Search of America AudioBook Free
A sensational evocation of America on the eve of a tumultuous decade-and a moving elegy for more innocent times. In Sept 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a trip across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Journeys with Charley is animated by Steinbeck's focus on the specific details of the natural world and his sense of the way the lives of men and women are intimately linked to the rhythms of nature-to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen hearing for the orders among people is apparent, too, as he records the hobbies and obsessions that preoccupy the Us citizens he encounters on the way.
