"Adam's Rib" is a philosophical novel written by the outstanding American writer John Steinbeck. In this book, the author implements the idea of delving into the inner world of the main character in order to reveal his psychology and internal conflicts. The main character, Adam Trask, seems to live an ordinary life, but the events, acquaintances and discoveries he sees gradually turn his ideas about himself and reality upside down. The reader experiences mood swings, inner torment and inspiration with him, which help to reveal his true essence. In "Adam's Rib", Steinbeck deeply explores not only the psychology of the hero, but also relationships between people, reality and fantasy, fate and freedom of choice. This book is an excellent work that leaves behind many questions and encourages reflection on deep life topics.
