East of Eden

Teniendo en cuenta la época en la que se escribió y por tanto ciertas opiniones ya no tan aceptadas, este libro es una gran lectura para la gente que guste de novelas del pasado, en particular de la California de fines del XIX e inicios del XX. Una gran y detallada narrativa, amena e incluso ilustrativa de una sociedad muy plural en su conformación, más de lo que aparenta.

John Steinbeck is one of my favourite writers and, arguably, one of the greatest writers of all time. This is one of his best pieces, but he has written many great pieces, including: Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, The Pearl, Travels With Charlie.

John Steinbecks epische Familiensaga im handlichen Taschenbuchformat. Wer nur den Film kennt, ahnt nicht einmal ansatzweise die gesamte Tragweite der Geschichte. Etwas klein gedruckt🤓...

Excellent

"East of Eden" stands out as one of the finest novels I've ever encountered. For the uninitiated, it delves into the intertwined lives of the Trask and Hamilton families across multiple generations, skillfully crafted by John Steinbeck. Despite its considerable length, once you delve into the narrative, it's nearly impossible to tear yourself away, with characters that leap off the page with complexity and depth. Steinbeck's exploration of their psyches offers profound insights into their motivations, with figures like Sam and Cathy embodying the extremes of good and evil, while others like Adam, Tom, and Charles grapple with moral ambiguity. The vivid imagery and engrossing dialogue make the story come alive, making it a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in literature.
