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.

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.

昨天下午到今天上午几乎一口气看完了这本书。现在回想起这本书,还在我脑子回荡的是一些故事,一些话,生活的态度,或者仅仅是沉默。这本书大绝大部分我觉得是写得很真实的,比如Olan 掐死刚生下来和女儿,传说吃人肉等等,这些在那样时代以至于很多年后时代在乡下都有这样的事...

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

the Good Earth无疑是史诗般的作品。描写了一个最普通的中国农民水深火热却又最平凡的一生。中国农民对土地的情节在这本书里被展现的淋漓尽致。最平凡的语言、最朴实的描写却最能让人动心。

绝对在诺贝尔水准之下,拿个普利策差不多吧。有洞察之眼却无描摹之笔,遗憾便在此了。时代细节的大串联,群体无意识感很强。“大地”点了无数次,人神之间关系很微妙,O-lan是最立得起来的人物,藏珍珠的细节写得太浑成了。接受不了结尾梨花的感情线。
