König Artus
Unter geheimnisvollen Umständen von Uther gezeugt und unter der Obhut des Zauberers Merlin zum jungen Mann geworden, macht die Schwertprobe Artus überraschend zum König. Mit nahezu grenzenlosem Enthusiasmus arbeitet John Steinbeck in seinen letzten Lebensjahren an der Neuerzählung dieser britischen Urlegende. Seine Nacherzählung der Sage vom unvergleichlichen König, von Gawain, Ewain, Lancelot und den anderen Rittern der Tafelrunde, ihren Abenteuern und Liebesgeschichten, blieb leider unvollständig.

Ein kleines Städtchen in AmerikaSo komisch, leicht und nostalgisch ist diese Prosa, dass man beinahe vergessen könnte, dass es sich um Weltliteratur handelt.Gelegenheitsarbeiter, Taugenichtse, Dirnen und Sonderlinge bevölkern die Cannery Row im kalifornischen Fischerstädtchen Monterey. Sie leben in alten Lagerhallen wie Mack und seine vier Kumpane, denen jede geregelte Arbeit verhasst ist; sie hausen in ausrangierten Dampfkesseln und verrosteten Röhren auf dem 'leeren Platz', der alles andere als leer ist oder wie Henri, der Maler, in einem Boot Marke Eigenbau, an dem er seit zwanzig Jahren herumbastelt und in dem es keine seiner Frauen und Freundinnen lange aushält. Sie treffen sich im unerschöpflichen Kramladen des Chinesen Lee Chong, um auf Pump einzukaufen, in den Kneipen rund um die Fischkonservenfabriken, in Doras Etablissement und im Laboratorium des einsiedlerisch lebenden Meeresbiologen 'Doc', den sie eines Tages mit einer grandiosen Party überraschen. Und das alles spielt sich unter den misstrauischen Blicken der ordentlichen Bürger von Monterey ab ...
