Synopsis "Tortilla Flat"

The first great literary success of John Steinbeck, this funny and tender novel takes place on the California coast in the district of Tortilla Flat, home to a group of paisanos—men and women who are a mixture of Mexican, Indian, Spanish, and Caucasian descent—who live separately from social norms and the ups and downs of the economy. Danny, Jesus Maria, Pablo, Pilon, and Big Joe Portagee spend their time getting drunk, getting into fights, and sleeping with women until Danny inherits two houses from his deceased uncle at the end of World War I. The paisanos’ savage freedom is altered a little by this development, but the houses soon become the perfect setting for much of their camaraderie. The responsibility of the houses proves too great for Danny and his friends, however, as they yearn to go back to their carefree ways. Full of hilarious situations and written with a deep lyricism, this classic story aptly captures the lifestyle of the paisanos. El primer gran éxito literario de John Steinbeck, esta novela divertida y tierna toma lugar en la costa de California en el distrito de Tortilla Flat, donde vive un grupo de paisanos—hombres y mujeres que son una mezcla de ascendencia mexicana, india, española y caucásica—separados de las normas de la sociedad y los vaivenes mercantilistas. Danny, Jesus Maria, Pablo, Pilon y Big Joe Portagee pasan su tiempo emborrachándose, peleando y acostándose con las mujeres, hasta que Danny hereda dos casas de su difunto tío a finales de la Primera Guerra Mundial. La libertad salvaje de los paisanos se altera un poco, pero las casas pronto se convierten en lugares perfectos para su camaradería. Sin embargo, la responsabilidad de las casas resulta demasiado grande para Danny y sus amigos y anhelan regresar a su manera despreocupada de vivir. Llena de situaciones cómicas y impregnada de un hondo lirismo, esta historia clásica acertadamente captura el estilo de vida de los paisanos.
