The Good Earth

The Good Earth

Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth follows the life of Wang Lung, a Chinese man who rises from a peasant farmer, struggling for a living, to become the head of the powerful House of Wang. Pearl Buck's life in rural China gave her vast insight into the minds of Chinese peasants. Buck's writing can also be viewed as depicting not just a Chinese farmer, but a "universal farmer," one who knows that his riches and security come from the good earth itself.
