East of Eden by John Steinbeck- Full 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 😃

[@CasusUniversum]

Love what you guys are doing and I really like the narrator. Please don't put that goofy chapter change music though. It's totally out of place

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

Yes! It's awful! And why???? It's not a read-along book for six year olds 😬 it ruins what is actually quite a good reading!

[@JocoMojo]

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

[@susangemmell9401]

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.

[@Audiobook_World_Free]

When you fall in love with the original it's hard to listen to anything else. We totally get that! Same thing goes with a book that has been turned into a movie. They are nvr as good as the book. Happy Listening and thanks for contributing!

I was wondering!!! I was thinking about how it felt like bits were missing from the last time I read it lol I’ve been listening to this as I work and was surprised by how short the run time was. Def wasn’t shocked when I saw it was edited. Other then that I thought it was a good listen, but def was missing so much heart and soul that comes from such a classic novel

[@hilarykingston6882]

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. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@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.

[@snapjackal]

Also, will add, that the readers absolutely crushed this. Very clear and dynamic speech at a perfect pace.

[@sunflowerhopefully7395]

Narrator was FANTASTIC! Thank you!

[@percival74898]

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

[@anastasiamalikova]

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.

[@charlessmyth]

Goes to show what a good editor can do ?? :-)

[@mohammadhassaneskandari8508]

Agreed! Some of the best paragraphs are entirely removed! For example “to a monster the norm seems monstrous since everyone is normal to himself”

[@rubydeeeyes9536]

Don't think it will spoil the full version for you. I've read it twice in my lifetime and have seen the movie three times. Just started listening to the full audio version after reading that this was an abridged version. It's such a rich poetic work, I don't think knowing the plot will spoil anything. The full audio is almost 24 hours and may be available on the Libby app from your public library. It is from mine.

[@rubberduckyconvoy2723]

❤❤❤ 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.

[@elegant6066]

Wonderful. Thank you...

[@rezzer7918]

EPIC IN SCOPE & MEANING

[@marcclement7396]

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

[@kariastrand9091]

Good story I was surprised! Thank you for sharing

[@Audiobook_World_Free]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobmorane4463]

Marvellous! Need desperately the unabridged version.

[@Audiobook_World_Free]

We couldn't agree more! We are always on the lookout

[@JudeNance]

Thank you so much 💓

[@King_David_97]

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

[@bodsoffawyth1]

Excellent.

[@lyndaproper1313]

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.

[@rickt1866]

good audio book reading.

[@JaskanFactor]

congrats, you just arrived at one of the best stories ears can behold.

🎉

[@mohammadhassaneskandari8508]

I feel terrible after hearing this! Because it’s abridged! Many beautiful parts of the book are cut in this version!now that I’m readi these pages I always curse this video for spoiling it!

[@katiebuttmunch5177]

girl what time stamp is chapter 17

[@ztgglis]

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

[@DontLookItsNotFinished]

plus they changed the last words

[@rubberduckyconvoy2723]

Kate has very deep PTSD. You can't save people like she at that time.

[@saintexupery8406]

RE-TOLD? Why? Philistine!

[@draculathevampire]

22:00 TIMESTAMP

[@jeanettesdaughter]

The synopsis is in error. It’s not sibling rivalry; it’s the cruel patriarch who warps this family. It’s about an evil father … and possibly a cruel Old Testament God! Shocking cruelty.

[@yM-bs8ls]

The chapter music is atrocious.

[@rod9829]

1:11:03

[@daveo6337]

It’s the story of Cain and Abel and the main theme is absolutely about sibling rivalry, there are layers. Don’t let woke people miseducate you. It’s the classic struggle between good and evil.

[@DontLookItsNotFinished]

where the f is timshel. way to ruin an ending
