Often described as Steinbeck's most ambitious novel, Steinbeck himself considered it his masterpiece. He once said said, "It has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years." He further claimed: "I think everything else I have written has been, in a sense, practice for this." According to his last wife Elaine, he considered this to be a requiem for himself—his greatest novel ever.
"East of Eden brings to life the intricate details of two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltons, and their interwoven stories... The novel was originally addressed to Steinbeck's young sons, Thom and John (then 6˝ and 4˝ respectively). Steinbeck wanted to describe the Salinas Valley for them in detail: the sights, sounds, smells, and colors.
The Hamilton family in the novel is said to be based on the real-life family of Samuel Hamilton, Steinbeck's maternal grandfather. A young John Steinbeck also appears briefly in the novel as a minor character.
