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.

那个时代最真实的中国的样子，虽然王龙身上有很多当时中国人的劣根，但是我还是很喜欢这个农民的......赛珍珠的描写很不错，但有的时候也会觉得她真的好啰里八嗦啊????
评分脐带
评分"I can only write what I know, and I know nothing but China, having always lived there"
评分算做很有观察的作品，拿普利策实至名归。但是从情节的设置，特别是人物的命运，在针对同时期的中文作品中，并不算出众。
评分第一次完整读完一本原版小说，真的花了不少时间。一个美国人讲一个中国故事，1931年出版之后，拿到普利策奖和诺贝尔文学奖，80多年后依旧畅销，这使我产生了极大的好奇，从而拿起书来一探究竟。珀尔·布克夫人（赛珍珠）说：我只会写我所了解的，而我只了解中国，因为我一直住在那儿。
