The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, 1962 Paperback

Incredibly good condition considering its age. Crease on corner of cover and light tanning. No marks, no creased pages, no tears.

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.
