East of eden audio book download11/29/2023 A journey into youth’s tortured parental burdens. He also didn't try to impose much accent on the voices of the Trask men which allowed Lee's accent to standout which felt appropriate.Įast of Eden, by John Steinbeck, and narrated by Richard Poe. He was spare with emotion, allowing the listener to see how closed these men were with their own emotions. Richard Poe perfectly narrated this book. I will certainly visit the Trask family again. At the close of the book I was deeply sad to leave them behind and I find myself thinking about them often during the days that have followed. I saw in them all the things I see in the people who populate the real world. Adam, Charles, Aaron and Cal became my neighbors. Steinbeck has written each of them a profound and subtle touch which made me feel as though I truly knew them. They are people who will make you think and feel. You will both like and detest each of them. They are people you will find compassion for. What I will say is this: the characters are deep, complex, real, and flawed. I have no great insights into the Bible and am wholly incapable of doing more than mention to that aspect of the book. I won't be talking about the Cain & Abel theme. Or, perhaps, I was simply an idiot who denied herself a deliciously beautiful story! There are many wonderful reviews of this book that will talk about the symbolism and allegory found here. Perhaps I thought it wouldn't stand the test of time. Perhaps I thought it would be too difficult to enjoy. Perhaps I thought this classic would be dull and boring. I do not know why I have never read this book.
