There is only one book to a man,'Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden,his most ambitious novel. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley,California,this powerful,often brutal novel,follows the intertwined 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 identity; the inexplicability of love,and the murderous consequences of love's absence.
