The masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years—at once a family saga and a modern retelling of the Book of Genesis
Part of the Penguin Orange Collection, Winner of the 2016 AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books 50 Covers competition and a limited-run series of American classics designed with a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback.
A Penguin Classic
In his journal, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck called East of Eden “the first book,” and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. 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. Here is a 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. Adapted for the 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan introducing James Dean and read by thousands as the book that brought Oprah’s Book Club back, East of Eden has remained a touchstone of American literature for over half a century.
