Pearl Buck »


The Good Earth	For its captivating story and manner of presenting it. /RPS Rathore, 50, India The book examplified the simplicity of life in the most easily understood language. Pearl S. Buck still managed to convey the message of life in early 20th century China in the most extraordinary fashion, regardless of the simplicity of the language she used. This has aided in many understanding the content of the book regardless of their age, young or old. The book also showed the important role of men as sole breadwinners and women holding the key post of home-makers in the household, a stereotype that has persisted throughout the ages even in the 21st century world. This book is truly a great read and I certainly would recommend it to every bookworm I know! /K. Deepan, 17, Singapore She brought the reader right into the life of the Chinese farmer, Wang Lung and his family during some perilous times. Plus she wrote simply and made the story easy to understand. It is a book I like to read over and over. /Evelyn Heinz, 67, United States My favourite person is the little fool girl who was only loved by her parents. I loved to read about how O-Lan and Wang Lung created their fortune on the fields and this good field and earth made them rich. This book shows us how to be honest and constant and solid during the difficulties of history. However, it shows deep sins of human life. It is a fantastic book. /Kata, 25, Hungary I learned from it the real sacrifice! /Essam Asali, 15, Israel I like this book because it is a fascinating tale of China, beautiful and yet very sad. This was the first book to ever make me cry. /Emma, 13, Spain Because it made me feel that it never can be written better! /Kripa, 18, India 'The Good Earth' remains a poignant and honest depiction of life for the Chinese commoner on the brink of vast events beyond his control. The characters resonate within the readers as they discover commonalities they scarce thought possible. Buck truly created a novel that speaks to every individual. /Chelsea Mann, 17, United States It's very realistic!!!!!! /Charisse, 14, Philippines It talks about the past and present situation of the agricultural sector in many asian countries. It also gives a very realistic account of a peasant's life in China long time ago with the discrimination of the south and north, the anti-feminism and submission of women. /Jodea Pearl Martin, 21, Philippines It's a very nice novel from this writer.She wrote this novel in 1931 in China where she studied English literaturein Shangahi Universty and she studied the goodly ways of the Chinese people and their principles. She said that she was American by birth and Chinese by heart. She talked about China in the time of povertyand how the farmers faced this hard time by hard work and honesty in theirlife. /Moatazmohsen, 28, Egypt It has a multi-layered content and excellent themes. /Aaron, 15, United States It really portrays human life without specifying a special area or nationality. /Jaw, 27, Yemen This book really depicts Chinese hardship, religion, and customs during the turn of the century. Not only is it educational, but it is quite entertaining following Wang Lung, the protagonist, through his experience with wealth, adultery, drugs, and travel. /Anna DiLoreto, 16, United States

The Mother	It represents the situation of a suffering citizen in China who is trying to raise her children by herself. That's why I was very attached to this story and I intend to know more about such situations. I was very influenced by the Chinese lifestyle. /Safa Tannir, 18, Lebanon
