Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver,
gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth
to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant
son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino
emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as
"perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of
comfort and of security . . .
A story of classic simplicity, based on a Mexican folk tale,
"The Pearl "explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest
depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.
