SynopsisNobel Laureate Pearl S. Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and Oprah Book Club selection about a vanished China and one family's shifting fortunes. Though more than seventy years have passed since this remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. In The Good Earth Pearl S. Buck paints an indelible portrait of China in the 1920s, when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings. 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 the last 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 an ordinary family caught in the tide of history.

Good bargains
I truly enjoyed this book - I am trying to read more of the "classics" that were suggested when I was growing up. I was not impressed with the condition of the book. It wasn't described as having writing in it, notes, etc.but I didn't care since I was only looking to read it and pass it on. The condition was described as "Good: A book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. The dust jacket for hard covers may not be included. Binding has minimal wear. The majority of pages are undamaged with minimal creasing or tearing, minimal pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, no writing in margins. No missing pages. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections" - The only thing that was really true was no pages missing. They need to check the condition of each book before they list it to make sure they fit in that category.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Superb control of narrative powers; a tour-de-force.
Pearl Buck's prose is utterly compelling; her descriptive powers command your attention and her talents at building character are uncanny. She puts you squarely in the lives of her people, which is no small task. The Good Earth is confidently paced and balanced, and it's not at all difficult to see why she won the Nobel Prize for Literature.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Love Pearl S. Buck
This is a classic book, i read it when i was fifteen and loved learning about chinese way of life during the turn of the century. Now im 55 and enjoyed reading it again. This should be a classic book that should be required reading in high schools.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Good book. Great price.
The book is in great condition and was a great price. Even though this is a classic, I had never read it. Heavy story, but very well written.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Written for every reader
I was mandated to read this in 7th grade. As a young reader one is full of energy and zeal for life and cannot fully appreciate this masterpiece. The toils of Wang Lung are written so eloquently that the reader actually traverses to that time as if personally in the presence of the characters themselves.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
