Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and Oprah Book Club selection about a vanished China and one family's shifting fortunes. Though more than seventy years have passed since this remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. In The Good Earth Pearl S. Buck paints an indelible portrait of China in the 1920s when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings. 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 the last 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 an ordinary family caught in the tide of history." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker Buck June 26 1892 – March 6 1973 was an American writer and novelist. She is best known for The Good Earth the best-selling novel in the United States in 1931 and 1932 and which won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938 Buck became the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China" and for her "masterpieces" two memoir-biographies of her missionary parents. Buck was born in West Virginia but in October 1892 her parents took their 4-month-old baby to China. As the daughter of missionaries and later as a missionary herself Buck spent most of her life before 1934 in Zhenjiang with her parents and in Nanjing with her first husband. She and her parents spent their summers in a villa in Kuling Mount Lu Jiujiang and it was during this annual pilgrimage that the young girl decided to become a writer. She graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg Virginia then returned to China. From 1914 to 1932 after marrying John Lossing Buck she served as a Presbyterian missionary but she came to doubt the need for foreign missions. Her views became controversial during the Fundamentalist–Modernist controversy leading to her resignation. After returning to the United States in 1935 she married the publisher Richard J. Walsh and continued writing prolifically. She became an activist and prominent advocate of the rights of women and racial equality and wrote widely on Chinese and Asian cultures becoming particularly well known for her efforts on behalf of Asian and mixed-race adoption.
