Though more than sixty years have passed since this
remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its
popularity and become one of the great modern classics. "I
can only write what I know, and I know nothing but China,
having always lived there," wrote Pearl Buck. In The Good
Earth she presents a graphic view of a China when the last
emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals
of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings for the
ordinary people. This moving, classic story of the honest
farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-lan is must reading
for those who would fully appreciate the sweeping changes
that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during
this century. Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck traces the whole cycle of
life: its terrors, its passions, its ambitions and rewards.
Her brilliant novel -- beloved by millions of readers -- is
a universal tale of the destiny of man.
