ASHES TO ASHES...DUST TO DUST...
This is the Spanish text edition of the 1932 Pulitzer Prize winning novel that is still a standout today. Deceptive in its simplicity, it is a story built around a flawed human being and a teetering socio-economic system, as well as one that is layered with profound themes. The cadence of the author's writing is also of note, as it rhythmically lends itself to the telling of the story, giving it ...

Love of Family & Love of Country
Pearl S. Buck's "The Patriot" came out in 1939. From the very first, the novel riveted me to the characters. Reading the book almost 70 years later, we of course have the historical perspective of Mao Tse Tung's communist revolution that came to rule China in 1947. The portrayal of Chiang Kai-shek who was eventually forced to Taiwan as a shrewd politician who takes over as a revolutionary only ...

This book is wonderfully written!
It is a tale of one woman's struggle to find her identity. It isn't sentimental or feminist, but simply a story about making the wrong choices... and surviving; only to find, that there is still plenty of time to make the right ones. The book reads fast!!! I am an avid reader and this one is my all-time favorite!

AN EARTH-SHAKING NOVEL; PEARL BUCK AT HER FINEST
I thought I would never read a novel as outstanding as The Good Earth. And then I read Dragon Seed! Thus far, this is the greatest book I have ever read! There are truly no adjectives to satisfactorily describe the depth and poignancy of this novel. My heart filled with sorrow as I turned the pages of this mesmerizing story of the Chinese peasants' condition during World II. I would go back ...

Thoughtful ...
I would have never picked this book up if it weren't for my book club. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down till I was finished with this book. It is a very moving and thoughtful book ~~ opening my eyes to something else that I would have never thought of reading. This book is about Madame Wu, who decided to retire from married life at the age of 40. She suggested a concubine for her ...

Angry Wife
This little known book from Pearl S Buck is a gem. I liked the book better than "Good Earth".When ever you read Pearl Buck you expect a grim picture but this book is of different style. With due respect to Late Mrs Buck her books in China and Korea are full with details but lack cultural integrity but this is world apart. She is in her home grounds and she knows the life style as the palm of ...

My own hidden flower
I first read this book when I contained my own "not so" hidden flower, I was a six months pregnant American woman married to a native Japanese. I was also young, in my early twenties. It touched me incredibly deeply. It is the story of young naive love, love that does not question if it chooses wisely. It is about passion without reason and the consequences of that love that cause great pain ...

The Best Collection of Fairy Tales
I had this book as a tween and young teen. I re-read many of the stories over and over. They are so beautifully written and even haunting. They transported me to many exotic ports and romantic time periods. Many have morals that aren't simplistic or mean sprited as in English fairy tales. I am buying it as a holiday present for my 13 year old avid reader daughter. I can't wait to delight in the ...

Excellent, Classic
If you enjoy learning about China, you should definitely read Pearl S. Buck. She knew China quite well and her books give you a glimpse of life in China during the time periods in which the book is set. Her books are classic and timeless. Well worth the time to read her works.
