This classic text by Fei Xiaotong, China's finest social scientist, was first published in 1947 and is Fei's chief theoretical statement about the distinctive characteristics of Chinese society. Written in Chinese from a Chinese point of view for a Chinese audience, "From the Soil" describes the contrasting organizational principles of Chinese and Western societies, thereby conveying the essential features of both. Fei shows how these unique features reflect and are reflected in the moral and ethical characters of people in these societies. This profound, challenging book is both succinct and accessible. In its first complete English-language edition, it is likely to have a wide impact on Western social theorists. Gary G. Hamilton and Wang Zheng's translation captures Fei's jargonless, straightforward style of writing. Their introduction describes Fei's education and career as a sociologist, the fate of his writings on and off the Mainland, and the sociological significance of his analysis. The translators' epilogue highlights the social reforms for China that Fei drew from his analysis and advocated in a companion text written in the same period.

评分4星半，文字就像老爷子自己说的，年少轻狂，带有一种敢于表达的意思

评分翻译相当精准，译者的序言把费的学术纳入了历史和政治语境做了考量。
评分沒想到看英文翻譯反而更過癮，英譯本多了一篇跋，亦可謂點睛之筆，這本上世紀中葉寫的書對於理解當今的中國依然相當有幫助。
