Lot Essay

Prints the text of the Nobel Committee's citation of Steinbeck (in both Swedish and English) as well as Steinbeck's address (in English). The last word of the address ("Men") is plural rather than singular as in the version published in the U.S. "...In the end is the Word, and the Word is Man -- and the Word is with Men." (page 53).
