A Penguin ClassicIn the two years after the 1939 publication of Steinbeck’s masterful The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck and his novel increasingly became the center of intense controversy and censorship. In search of a respite from the national stage, Steinbeck and his close friend, biologist Ed Ricketts, embarked on a month long marine specimen-collecting expedition in the Gulf of California, which resulted in their collaboration on the Sea of Cortez. In 1951, after Ricketts’ death, Steinbeck reissued his narrative portion of the work in memory of his friend and the inspiration for Cannery Row’s “Doc”. This exciting day-by-day account of their journey together is a rare blend of science, philosophy, and high-spirited adventure. This edition features an introduction by Richard Astro.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

In 1940, the writer John Steinbeck and his biologist friend Ed Ricketts made a scientific tour of Mexico's Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California in a repurposed sardine fishing boat. The goal of the voyage was to collect marine samples and to better understand the tidal ecology of the area. For Steinbeck, the voyage was a good excuse to write the extended travelogue that is "the Log from the Sea of Cortez."This book won't be for everyone. The reader must be patient with the author, who mixes science and travel story and philosophy at his own pace. The travelogue portions are a time capsule of often wry observations of Baja California as it was at the time. Chapter 14 contains Steinbeck's and likely Ricketts' thoughts on a universe that is, rather than ought to be. An extended appendix contains Steinbeck's moving requiem for his longtime friend, who inspired several characters in Steinbeck's novels over the years. Recommended to Steinbeck's fans, who may find his non-fiction not so far removed from his fiction.
