Published in 1952, John Steinbeck's East of Eden is as relevant today as it was then thanks to the breadth and complexity of the text. The sweeping epic follows the Trask family from the late 1800s through the U.S.'s involvement in World War I. Though East of Eden can't be boiled down to one moment, Steinbeck's language and enduring quotes communicate why we're still reading East of Eden after all these years, and that the struggle of being human transcends generations.
