It was an "underground" copy because Caldwell was not thought appropriate for the feeble teenage mind. I have just finished re-reading it now and while it has somewhat harsh scenes in it, I think the teenage mind is up to the task.It starts as a tragedy and becomes more tragic. A very loosely-structured family is in a situation that is not tenable. This, along with their lack of personal abilities, makes the entire situation impossible. Then, we read how they each destroy themselves in one way or another.As a teenager, I had traveled through this area and Caldwell does a fine job of capturing the culture of the times. He is obviously writing from personal knowledge. I guess you could read a political statement in this but I chose not to do so. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tobacco Road" Read Seventy Years Later *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017* Story of a fictitious Northern Georgian family. Describes how some members of the family have moved on and bettered their lives by getting away from their familial home; and how, those who remained, "intend" to improve their lot, yet make no real effort to do so. They, further, blame their circumstances on external factors (the rich and the bankers) rather on impotence in not actually making an effort to change their behavior."Tobacco Road" contains depiction of sexual content much the same as "God's Little Acre" which drew heavy criticism when it was released. It was, in fact, censured in Georgia where the action occurred. Within the context of the moral standards of today, hardly anyone would think twice about those passages in this book dealing with sexual attitudes and activities. It is quite tame compared with the available afternoon "soap operas" prime-time television drama.Overall, "Tobacco Road" was a pleasant read dealing with the attitudes of a poor southern family in the depression era of the 1930s. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Controversial, seminal, excellent. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016* There's a lot of controversy about this book. Is it a pulp novel, black comedy, tragedy, trage-comedy, does it "bash The South"? I can only say it's largely a little bit of all of the above. For sure it is a bare bones, no holds barred depiction of a moment in time. Characters that may not have been real per se but be assured there WERE real people quite like them. It not so much addresses as depicts the issues of poverty, ignorance, sloth yes but more so the phenomenon of being placed in the situation of having expectations, however low, placed upon you & then sinking to them; all the while feeling yourself a victim of the system that places those expectations. Violence, substance abuse, hunger, sexual abuse and promiscuity, desensitization are all depicted as the scourge of the rural South at the time. Oddly these things are lamented as the scourge of urban America now. So we've learned little other than how to transplant our problems' locale. It may be unflattering and downright disturbing but never the less an excellent read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/33360886-tobacco-road-paperback-january-31-2014](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/33360886-tobacco-road-paperback-january-31-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
