Book Description
Pearl S. Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a China that was -- now in a Contemporary Classics edition.
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.

第一次完整讀完一本原版小說,真的花瞭不少時間。一個美國人講一個中國故事,1931年齣版之後,拿到普利策奬和諾貝爾文學奬,80多年後依舊暢銷,這使我産生瞭極大的好奇,從而拿起書來一探究竟。珀爾·布剋夫人(賽珍珠)說:我隻會寫我所瞭解的,而我隻瞭解中國,因為我一直住在那兒。
評分土地對於農民就如血液般重要~
評分有種在把類似《白鹿原》之類的故事翻譯成英文的錯覺~
評分賽珍珠三部麯的第一部。對中國農民的描寫入木三分。寫齣瞭中國人對大地或說土地的依戀。
評分算做很有觀察的作品,拿普利策實至名歸。但是從情節的設置,特彆是人物的命運,在針對同時期的中文作品中,並不算齣眾。
