Tobacco Road (novel)
''Tobacco Road'' is a 1932 novel by Erskine Caldwell about Georgia sharecroppers. It was dramatized for Broadway by Jack Kirkland in 1933, and ran for a then-astounding eight years (3,182 performances). A 1941 film version, deliberately played mainly for laughs, was directed by John Ford, and the storyline was considerably altered. The novel itself was included in Life Magazine's list of the 100 outstanding books of 1924–1944.〔Canby, Henry Seidel. "The 100 Outstanding Books of 1924 – 1944". ''Life Magazine'', 14 August 1944. Chosen in collaboration with the magazine's editors.〕
==Plot introduction==
''Tobacco Road'' is set in rural Georgia, several miles outside Augusta, Georgia during the worst years of the Great Depression. It depicts a family of poor white tenant farmers, the Lesters, as one of the many small Southern cotton farmers made redundant by the industrialization of production and the migration into cities. The main character of the novel is Jeeter Lester, an ignorant and sinful man who is redeemed by his love of the land and his faith in the fertility and promise of the soil.
