In The Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck present a graphic view of the China that was-when the last emperor reigned, and the vat political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings for the ordinary people. Tis moving epic 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.
