East of Eden by John Steinbeck- Audiobook

East of Eden- by John Steinbeck
A masterpiece of Biblical scope, and the magnum opus of one of America’s most enduring authors

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.

The masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years, East of Eden 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 vitally present in American culture for over half a century.

For those who have asked...we are currently working on narrating the FULL unabridged version of this story and will be posting it soon 😃

[hilarykingston]

The narrator was excellent, it makes a huge difference. One of the best narrators I have heard. Well done. Loved the book but all down to your narration. 👍👍👍👍👍

[percival]

I read it years ago but emjoyed it so much this tome around. Brilliantly narrated. Thank you.

[susangemmell]

I enjoyed the readers voice and for someone who has not read this book before I think they will find it enjoyable. Sadly, because it has been edited so much the heart and soul of this amazing book has been lost. Read the original, you will not be sorry. Timshel.

Please put in the description that this is abridged. I was not aware when I started listening and now feel frustrated as it was my first time reading this story and I feel it is spoiled for when I read the original version. Otherwise, the audiobook itself was good.

This comment section taught me what an abridged version is.

i had thought MAN, it took me A LONG TIME to read this book.

[snapjackal]

This will be an unpopular opinion based on this comments section.

But I really appreciate the abridged version. That's not a shot at the author, or anyone else. I admire the value in reading for enjoyment and pouring over every word, keeping some lines with you as you carry on throughout your life, etc. But for some who can't afford the money or the time to get a copy of classic literature and work through it over the course of a few days, this is a nice alternative - offering a streamlined pass through the meat of a story in order to give the listener a general grip on the book's themes, subject matter, and plot points. It's a handy thing to have access to on a random weeknight.

For what it's worth, I don't disagree that a fuller version of this book is obviously going to be much more impactful. I may return to East of Eden, one day, to experience it in its full glory.

Marvellous!
Need desperately the unabridged version.

[youcanescapethebox]

I love the way lee breaks down choice. 2:14:41

[JocoMojo]

One of the best narrations of an Irish accent!...very few get it right.

[JOLINc]

Thank you for the audio book! It’s quite useful for me to understand of context of this book. The original one is much detailed, but this is a great summary!

[kariastrand]

Good story I was surprised! Thank you for sharing

[dbrunetti]

Wonderdully read, inticing story. Thank you!!!

[arthuroldale-kiev]

I read this many years ago, Steinbeck being such a great writer, beautifully narrated, but looking forward to having the unabridged version, fingers crossed, by the same narrator !

[marcclement]

Great job. You've done an amazing book justice.

[ashleysaunders]

Thanks for your brilliant narration. 😊

[King_David_]

This is a good book. Enjoyed it in high school.

[ztgglis]

EAST OF EDEN is 700 pages. This is advertised is a FULL audiobook. It is not. Do not shortchange yourself!

[rubberduckyconvoy]

❤❤❤ Thank you. Great book. Author of novel has left massage to a readers. To have an ambition is wonderful, but without help of Holy Spirit they loose own life.

[WhatIsXSix]

While the reader is clear and expressive, this version of the book seemed so prosaic that I, with no foreknowledge of this book, went looking for a different reading of it. I found it and was rewarded with the rich, flowing prose that made Steinbeck famous. I'm sorry, but what's the point of rewriting a great novel? Write your own novel instead.
