The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck- vintage Pulitzer Prize winning novel

“Though more than sixty years have passed since Pearl S. Buck's THE GOOD EARTH won the Pulitzer Prize, this remarkable novel has retained its popularity and has become one of the great modern classics. "I can only write what I know, and I know nothing but China, having always lived there," she said In THE GOOD EARTH she presents a graphic view of the China that was 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, epic 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.”
