East of Eden

East of Eden: John Steinbeck's strong drama about good and evil set against the rich backdrop of California's Salinas Valley, wherein follow the complex lives of two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltons, as they wring their hands in love, betrayal, and their own idiosyncratic morality. Steinbeck explores inheritance, identity, and the human capacity for both good and evil. Rich in symbolism, East of Eden is a deep exploration of choices that define us, set against the backdrop of a turbulent, shifting society.
