Unprecedented classic whose Edenic resonance is of a timeless quality. East of Eden is an experience which manifests the story of every human by enabling to express the immanent questions we live with through a form purely dedicated to allegory. Words, language and thought all coagulate to present the Story of all stories and transform the act of reading into a meditative ensemble that helps deliquesce the stiff structures we often find difficult to move on ahead in.
