The Pearl (novel)
''The Pearl'' is a novella by the American author John Steinbeck. The story, first published in 1947, follows a pearl diver, Kino, and explores man’s purpose as well as greed, defiance of societal norms, and evil.

The book was adapted as a Mexican film named '' La Perla'' (1947) and as a cult Kannada movie '' Ondu Muttina Kathe'' (1987). The story is one of Steinbeck's most popular books and has been widely used in middle and high school classes. ''The Pearl'' is sometimes considered a parable.
