Description



About the Book



"Set in the rich farmland of California's Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families--the Trasks and the Hamiltons--whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Adam Trask came to California from the East to farm and raise his family on the new rich land. But the birth of his twins, Cal and Aaron, brings his wife to the brink of madness, and Adam is left alone to raise his boys to manhood. One boy thrives nurtured by the love of all those around him; the other grows up in loneliness enveloped by a mysterious darkness. First published in 1952, East of Eden is the work in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence."--



Book Synopsis



Una gran novela del Premio Nobel de Literatura, John Steinbeck

Al este del Edén, epopeya de resonancias bíblicas que inspiró la célebre película homónima dirigida por Elia Kazan y que contó con James Dean en el papel del mítico Cal Trask, narra las vicisitudes de dos familias a lo largo de tres generaciones, desde la guerra de Secesión hasta la segunda guerra mundial, en el lejano valle Salinas, en la California septentrional. Tras acompañar a la familia Hamilton a su épico asentamiento en la región, el lector penetra en el sofocante mundo de los Trask, en el que el severo Adam --tras ser abandonado por su mujer, a quien nadie de la familia osa nombrar-- intenta educar en el recto camino a sus hijos Cal y Aron, nuevos Caín y Abel, que entablan una pugna soterrada por el reconocimiento de su padre. Cuando Cal se siente extrañamente atraído por la misteriosa Cathy Adams, que regenta el burdel más célebre de la región, la maldición caerá sobre el joven, en adelante condenado a permanecer al este de un elusivo Edén.
