Sinopsis

"There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon."
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.

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.
