Text/VG, unread w/margin discoloration & trace humidity stains to lower corner of front pages. Illustrated softcover/VG; sound w/rubs to front. Published w/o ISBN; ISBN assigned subsequently. 1931, 2nd novel, winner of the 1932 Pulitzer, translated to some 30 languages, made into a Broadway play and adapted to film, from Pearl S. Buck (1892 - 1933) , who, a child of missionaries, grew up in China. An initimate & movinging account of how a poor Anhwrei Chinese peasant farmer Wang Lung improves his standing. Set in time after the fall of the Ching Dynasty, the 1911 establishment of the Republic of China and pre-World War I, when dazzling visions of railroad construction & modernization held sway. Wang Lung, whose children begs on the streetss as he pulls a rickshaw, does rise in social stature to have servants and concubines. In the sequels, Sons and The House Divided, Wang's offspring fair poorly as China faces disintegration of the imperial past and lured by utopias promised by theorists of Democracy and Marxist Communism. Years of invasion by missionaries, gunboats and being carved into international territorial concessions (i.e. HongKong, Macau, Tsingtao for German beer) left China and the Wang family saga on its knees. Strong copy despite flaws.
Sinopsis
The Good Earth is a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Pearl S. Buck , an American writer who spent the bulk of the first part of her life in China. Set in the Anhui Province where Buck once lived, it chronicles the rise and fall of Wang Lung and his family, portraying a realistic portrait of life in a Chinese Village prior to World War I. While not initially well received by critics, the novel immediately became a bestseller and has since been recognized as one of the most important 20th century works of fiction. It was also notable for its role in preparing the American public to accept the Chinese as allies later during World War II. The novel was followed by two sequels, Sons and A House Divided to complete the House of Earth Trilogy. -
