January 2010A story based on a Mexican folk tale The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature the darkest depths of evil and the disastrous effects of stepping out of an established system for bad things will happen if one abuses his/her spot according to the novel. The Pearl has a strong moral that people should be content with one's life as demonstrated in the book when many unfortunate events happen to Kino his wife Juana and their baby boy Coyotito after the discovery of the pearl later in the book. The novella presents this view through the character of the privileged town's people among them the pearl traders who participate in continuing the oppression of the indigenous people Kino's race by offering Kino an unfair price for his pearl. The book also describes the messages of oppression and racism in a way that shows they are negative elements in life and it shows this when the doctor refers to Kino's race as animals. The Pearl itself something that can be held in the palm of the hand eventually leads to the destruction of a well-respected family. At the outset Kino envisions a better future the pearl will bring as he wants new clothes for his family and himself a proper wedding for him and Juana and a proper education for Coyotito. Before Kino undertakes his plans friends and relatives of Kino wonder whether it will make or break Kino and his family and people question whether he can achieve these goals because Kino would have to essentially break the rigid social structure. inventory #6832 hardcover
