Pearl Buck in China: Journey to The Good Earth

Hilary Spurling
3.82/5 (920 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Pearl Buck grew up in an imperial China unchanged for thousands of years. She was the child of American missionaries but spoke Chinese before she learned English. She took it for granted she was Chinese herself until she was eight years old, when the Boxers' terrorist uprising forced her family to flee for their lives. Flood, famine, drought, bandits and war formed the background of her life in China.

Pearl was the first person since Marco Polo to open China up to the West. She recreated the lives of ordinary Chinese people in The Good Earth, a worldwide bestseller in 1932 that transfixed a whole generation of readers and won her the Nobel Prize for Literature.

[Here is] the haunting story of Pearl Buck, a writer torn between her Chinese life and her American roots.
