This book evolves place in Mexico during the nineteen hundreds in the urban center of La Paz.The main characters are Kino an Indian bead piston who finds the magnificent pearl and whose life is partially destroyed by this pearl.

Coyotito is Kino and Juanas infant intelligence he is bitten by a scorpion and recovers miraculously only to be afterwards killed by a bullet.The theme of this book is not to let rapacity or money to get in the way of you or your family. avariciousness is a destructive force and if not controlled it will effect you a lot maybe even forever, standardised the death of Kinos son Coyotito. Another theme is fate because fate was a study aspect to wherefore Kino did not succeed in his dreams of having a luxurious life. When Kino discovered the Pearl he thought that it would take him out of poverty and int o a life of happiness. The pearl was not meant for anyone to find, and the purpose of one was luck, a little pat on the back by God.The problem in this story is that Kino is trying to sell his pearl and every one bids a low price. That means he keeps it eternal and everyone is trying to steal it from him. The conflict is man vs. man the reason why is that a lot of people are trying to steal it from him the sidereal day he got it. It went to the point that people were tracking him for it and attacking him in his sleep.I hated it when Kino went pearl diving and found the pearl of the world, and started devising a scene. When you find something very valuable like that you keep that a secret and under ground. When you make a discovery with something valuable like that you do not deal in front of an audience you do it privately.
