'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.
STEINBECK JOHN
John Steinbeck 1902-1968 es la encarnación del escritor inconformista y comprometido con los problemas sociales de su tiempo. Ratones y hombres, Las uvas de la ira, Al Este del Edén o La perla constituyen algunos de los hitos de una extensa obra novelística que fue reconocida en 1962 con el premio Nobel de Literatura.
