Synopsis "Al Este del Edén (in Spanish)"

Una gran novela del Premio Nobel de Literatura, John SteinbeckAl este del Edén, epopeya de resonancias bíblicas que inspiró la célebre película homónima dirigida por Elia Kazan y que contó con James Dean en el papel del mítico Cal Trask, narra las vicisitudes de dos familias a lo largo de tres generaciones, desde la guerra de Secesión hasta la segunda guerra mundial, en el lejano valle Salinas, en la California septentrional. Tras acompañar a la familia Hamilton a su épico asentamiento en la región, el lector penetra en el sofocante mundo de los Trask, en el que el severo Adam --tras ser abandonado por su mujer, a quien nadie de la familia osa nombrar-- intenta educar en el recto camino a sus hijos Cal y Aron, nuevos Caín y Abel, que entablan una pugna soterrada por el reconocimiento de su padre. Cuando Cal se siente extrañamente atraído por la misteriosa Cathy Adams, que regenta el burdel más célebre de la región, la maldición caerá sobre el joven, en adelante condenado a permanecer al este de un elusivo Edén.

John Steinbeck (1902- 1968) was born in Salinas, California. He studied at Stanford University and during his youth worked as a laborer and fruit picker. His first success was Tortilla Flat (1935), a story between picaresque and romantic about Mexican immigrants settled around Monterey (California). In 1936, he wrote a series of seven reports for The San Francisco News, which he later published as The Harvest Gypsies. In 1939, his most famous work appeared: The Grapes of Wrath (Pulitzer Prize 1940), which tells the sad story of a family from the impoverished state of Oklahoma that migrates to California during the economic depression of the thirties; this work, received as a moving document of social protest, was adapted into a film by John Ford in 1940. Among his extensive literary work are also the novels Of Mice and Men (1936), The Pearl (1947) and East of Eden (1962), and screenplays for movies, such as the one he wrote for Viva Zapata! by Elia Kazan. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
