'East of Eden' is often described as Steinbeck's most ambitious novel. Set in the Salinas Valley, Steinbeck wanted to convey to his sons the Valley's sights, sounds, smells, and colors. The book was adapted for cinema in the 1955 film 'East of Eden' by director Elia Kazan, and starring James Dean, Julie Harris, Richard Davalos, Raymond Massey, Jo Van Fleet, and Burl Ives.
