Synopsis
Shoeless Joe, the soulstirring novel on which the movie Field of Dreams is based, is more than just another baseball story. Kinsella captures the spiritual dimension that baseball represents for its most determined devotees in this tale of love and the power of dreams to make people come alive.
Shoeless Joe is the great Joe Jackson, one of the eight members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox who were banned from baseball for throwing the World Series. One day, while out in his corn field, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears the voice of a baseball announcer saying, If you build it, he will come. He, of course, is Ray's hero, Joe Jackson. It is a baseball stadium, which Ray carves out of his corn field.
