Author: Mr John Steinbeck

Format: Paperback / softback

Number of Pages: 720


Steinbeck's most ambitious and engrossing novel, at once a family saga and a modern retelling of the Book of Genesis, in a new A format edition 'There is only one book to a man' Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel, follows the interwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes- the mystery of indentity; the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence.
