Tekst på norsk, oversatt fra engelsk/Text in Norwegian, translated from the English

"Over tre generasjoner oppfyller familien Trask den bibelske myten om Kain og Abel. Gjennom det menneskelige dramaet som utspiller seg mellom dem, behandler forfatteren menneskets dypeste gåter og savn."--Norwegian ed.

"A symbolic recreation of the biblical story of Cain and Abel woven into a history of California's Salinas Valley. Spanning the period between the American Civil War and the end of World War I, the novel highlights the conflicts of two generations of brothers; the first being the kind, gentle Adam Trask and his wild brother Charles. Adam eventually marries Cathy Ames, an evil, manipulative, and beautiful prostitute; she betrays him, joining Charles on the very night of their wedding. Later, after giving birth to twin boys, she shoots Adam and leaves him to return to her former profession. In the shadow of this heritage Adam raises their sons, the fair-haired, winning, yet intractable Aron, and the dark, clever Caleb. This second generation of brothers vie for their father's approval. In bitterness Caleb reveals the truth about their mother to Aron, who then joins the army and is killed in France."--English ed.
