All novels are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves between good and evil. John Steinbeck, one of America's greatest writers, considered East of Eden to be his most important work. Set in California, the novel is a story of love and jealousy, forgiveness and revenge — and what it means to be human.

Описание:
'I've done my damndest to rip a reader's nerves to rags, I don't want him satisfied'. Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic, The Grapes of Wrath, remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of the Joad family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision; an eloquent tribute to the endurance and dignity of the human spirit.

Returning to the scene of Cannery Row — the weedy lots, junk heaps and flop houses of Monterey — Steinbeck brings to life in Sweet Thursday the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears. He again explores the common bounds of humanity and love which make goodness and happiness possible.

Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except each other — and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie — struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and jealousy — becomes a victim of his own strength.
