"За мишките и хората" (1937) се радва на голям успех още с появата си. Това е невероятно затрогващ разказ за сложната спойка между двама мигриращи селскостопански работници - Джордж Милтън и Лени Смол. Те пътуват от ферма на ферма в търсене на временна работа и мечтаят един ден да си имат собствена ферма. Лени е едър и тромав, умствено изостанал мъж, който по детски се радва на всичко пухкаво и меко.

In fact, they can be seen not as two separate decks but as one deck appearing in two dimensions. The principle of the two-deck system can be explained as follows: there are two sides to every question and two sides to every answer. Answers come both from within and ... |
