Search - GOOD EARTH

I first read this book when I was 10 years old. It was my introduction to Chinese culture and I have been interested in it ever since.

This book is not just a fascinating glimpse into another time and place though.. It is a thoughtful, endearing look at humanity at it's greatest and at it's worst.

I will never forget these people they have made such an impact on my life. Obviously I highly recommend this book. I never even blink when people ask me my favorite book of all time it's been the same since I was 10 and it will always be "The Good Earth."

One of the greatest classics of our time, this is the powerfully moving story of peasant Wang Lung - of the family he founded that would one day become a powerful dynasty; of the gods he implored, sometimes with humility, someties with anger and above all of the earth that sustained him the land that he made to prosper against the ravages of nature and the savage attacks of bandit tribes.

The classic story of a Chinese farmer who makes something of himself. If your only memory of this novel is being forced to read it in high school, you might want to recoinsider it. It has much to say about wealth, true success, marriage, family, tradition and lots more. It's a great novel that holds up well through time.

One the the greatest classics of our time.
