East of Eden
East of Eden

Epic generational saga mirroring biblical allegory.

If you're drawn to sprawling family epics filled with philosophical musings on good and evil, "East of Eden" might captivate you. Steinbeck weaves the personal stories of the Trask and Hamilton families with grander themes, much like a modern take on a biblical parable. It's a book that's often considered Steinbeck's crowning achievement, with complex characters and an exploration of fate versus free will that could keep you pondering long after the last page.

Description

California's fertile Salinas Valley is home to two families whose destinies are intertwined across generations. Spanning the late 19th century into the mid-20th century, the Trasks and the Hamiltons echo the biblical story of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel. East of Eden is widely regarded as one of Steinbeck's major works, with epic scope and memorable characters that explore universal themes of love, identity, and human fate.
