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.

土地对于农民就如血液般重要~
评分难怪赛珍珠知道自己得了诺奖时那么难以置信。中规中矩，却非杰作。
评分脐带
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。
评分那个时代最真实的中国的样子，虽然王龙身上有很多当时中国人的劣根，但是我还是很喜欢这个农民的......赛珍珠的描写很不错，但有的时候也会觉得她真的好啰里八嗦啊????
