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.
Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker was born on June 26, 1892, in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Her parents were Southern Presbyterian missionaries, most often stationed in China, and from childhood, Pearl spoke both English and Chinese. She returned to China shortly after graduation from Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1914, and the following year, she met a young agricultural economist named John Lossing Buck. They married in 1917, and immediately moved to Nanhsuchou in rural Anhwei province. In this impoverished community, Pearl Buck gathered the material that she would later use in The Good Earth and other stories of China.
Pearl began to publish stories and essays in the 1920s, in magazines such as The Nation, The Chinese Recorder, Asia, and The Atlantic Monthly. Her first novel, East Wind, West Wind, was published by the John Day Company in 1930. John Day's publisher, Richard Walsh, would eventually become Pearl's second husband, in 1935, after both received divorces.
In 1931, John Day published Pearl's second novel, The Good Earth. This became the bestselling book of both 1931 and 1932, won the Pulitzer Prize and the Howells Medal in 1935, and would be adapted as a major MGM film in 1937. Other novels and books of nonfiction quickly followed. In 1938, less than a decade after her first book had appeared, Pearl won the Nobel Prize in literature, the first American woman to do so. By the time of her death in 1973, Pearl had published more than seventy books: novels, collections of stories, biography and autobiography, poetry, drama, children's literature, and translations from the Chinese. She is buried at Green Hills Farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
it's Oscar-winning good.
评分…appreciate the simple style which makes vivid images, especially peasant images, for peasants themselves are simple and unadorned.
评分在Amazon上买了The Good Earth Trilogy的Kindle version,读罢第一部,对中国农民的刻板印象有有所加深。Q: When did the divide between rural and urban life start to morph?
评分it's Oscar-winning good.
评分9年级时global history读的最认真的一本书 很喜欢,想不到读英文书也能看到这么中国的故事
很小的時候已看過中文譯本, 深深愛上賽珍珠, 現在大了才知道一個將中國農村生活寫得活靈活現的人原來是個鬼婆兼諾貝爾獎得主! 英文原著一定更原汁原味!
评分proof: http://gos.sbc.edu/b/buck.html (her nobel acceptance speech). Do not call her an American author, that would be an insult.
评分The Grey World ------Review of THE GOOD EARTH Pearl.S.Buck, an American writer ,growing up in China ,can write such a long work about Chinese farmer which indeed astonished me tremendously. she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and tru...
评分The Good Earth – By Pearl S. Buck 帮儿子去书店买几本书,又看到这本书放在显眼的架子上,说明还在卖。一本1931年的书,一本写1910年代中国农民的书,还在加拿大的书架上卖,这本身就说明这是一本经过时间沉淀的书。 赛珍珠,可能大家都听过的名字?关于这一点我不敢肯定...
评分两年前拿到书只是看了前面,最近看完了整本书,惊讶于作者对于中国农民的到位的描述,不仅是风俗习惯,还有典型农民性格,观念。阿兰真是传统的贤妻良母,王龙纳妾让我很生气但是细想这也是人性的真是写照。稍微看了一下电影,拍的还比较接近,不过阿兰不是我想象中的样子。
