Cup of Gold

Cup of Gold – Softcover Edition

John Steinbeck’s Cup of Gold, his first published novel (1929), is a vivid historical tale inspired by the life and legend of the infamous 17th-century pirate Henry Morgan. Blending fact and romance, Steinbeck follows Morgan’s rise from an ambitious youth in Wales to his daring exploits in the Caribbean, culminating in his legendary assault on Panama—known as the "Cup of Gold."

Written with the lyrical prose and keen insight that would define his later works, this novel explores ambition, adventure, and the fleeting nature of glory.
