The pearl

Terrible events follow the discovery of a magnificent pearl by a poor Mexican fisherman.

The pearl

Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain but now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with only 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.
