A Comparison of East of Eden and Candide

Ten years of memories of East Eden and Franky Candid's nostalgia and 10 years of greatness, I forgot my readers' wonderful, classical literature and today's current events, thinking about "children in the 80's" I do not want to. Recently I have read two wonderful books. Also, I noticed some interesting similarities. One is East of Eden, John Steinbeck. This novel is an incredibly magnificent reproduction of Genesis. Salinas County is depicted as an incredibly pure and innocent place where people have simple values ​​and seek to maintain them.

Despite severe criticism, the eastern part of Eden has become an instant best seller, and I regard it as one of Steinbeck's best achievements. East Eden is still Steinbeck's most controversial book - a controversial classic. This book was adapted from the 1955 film "East of Eden" directed by James Dean and Director Kazan, starring James Dean and Julie Harris. In 1981 TV mini play, Timothy Bottoms and Jane Seymour starred. The novel has recently gained popularity when TV celebrities Oprah Winfrey picked the East of Eden as the club of her classic book. Another filmization by Ron Howard will be released in 2006.

The eastern part of Eden is also the premiere of Joe Van Fleet's feature film. When Kazan photographed her about Kate's role, she appeared on TV many times and had a career on a successful stage. Just before the shoot of East Eden, she was awarded Best Supporting Actress Tony Award for her performance in "Prosperous Journey". Fork singer Burr Ives started his movie career and sang a cowboy at Smokey (1946). He received the Oscar award in Best Supporting Actor Award (1958) and was released in the same year as his most famous role (1958) as a big dad on the hot iron roof. Immediately after completing East Eden, Ives created this part under the direction of Mount Elika in the Broad Area in 1955.

Steinbeck's last two novels - "East of Eden" (1952) and "We are dissatisfied in the winter" (1961) - show a return to the past. As he painted a fictitious explanation of his mother's family, the eastern part of Eden returned to his familiar California environment. Our frustrated winter pays attention to the past advantage. In the 1950s, Steinbeck continued to express his social and political views in a new way. He helped to write a speech of the presidential election campaign in 1952 and 1956. He also served as a consultant to President Johnson. Steinbeck was a consulting service during the conflict in Vietnam and was awarded American free medal in 1964.

In 1952 when John Steinbeck announced his huge novel "East of Eden", he was already one of America's leading writers. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his successful desperate dust storm family, "The Grapes of Wrath", adapted well to John Ford's movie. In 1940 Steinbeck 's best - selling book features the strongest meaning of the era and its position here, especially in the eastern part of Eden who grew up in Salinas Valley, California. His son, Tom, said his popularity is largely due to his compassionate view on character and socio-political conditions. He once told his son that the purpose of writing is to reaffirm people's human nature. Whether maliciously or completely ignoring the outcome of action, some characters in the eastern part of Eden performed terrible performance, but Steinbeck believes that humans choose the path of their own lives, human beings I was able to change the nature of the.
