Book Description
Pearl S. Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a China that was -- now in a Contemporary Classics edition.
Though more than sixty years have passed since this remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. "I can only write what I know, and I know nothing but China, having always lived there," wrote Pearl Buck.

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 this century.

用户评价
不是特别喜欢。鲁迅的评价还是很中肯的。得了诺奖可能更多是时代的历史意义而不是文学价值吧。
评分The way of Wang lung to getting rich was accidental, but the wealth did not make him forget the land. After a series of turns, he still returned to the land. I was so fortunate to live in the age of peace for the social status of women is low.The lifelike discription of peasants is used to enhance the sense of reality (before1934).
评分赛珍珠三部曲的第一部。对中国农民的描写入木三分。写出了中国人对大地或说土地的依恋。
评分真实 平淡
评分不哭穷、不卖惨、不搞通奸、不闹革命，用极为细腻的笔触，把农民的婚丧生育、农贸的来龙去脉、土地的流转利用、城乡的连结和分化、大饥荒和农民的境遇，写得真实细腻。我读一些中国知识分子包括农村出身的知识分子写旧农村的小说，常觉得怎么就这么“隔”，就像是从墙外往墙里望，不通透。赛珍珠的视角，却处处围绕农民的吃喝、生育和活计。别的东西，怜悯也好批判也好，任何有先验性的判断，都被摒除了。所以读来是从墙里往墙外看，代入感很强。单从反应旧中国三农的真实性上看，这本书是很好的。这不得益于赛珍珠写作技法（近纪实文学）的先进性，但怎么讲呢？文学性真的就会差一点点。
