Beschreibung

Twentieth-Century Classics, a new hardback series from Penguin Classics: the era's greatest books with cover artwork from its most celebrated photographers, bound in signature eau-de-nil cloth.

Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel, follows the interwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of indentity; the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence.
