Pearl Buck's 1931 Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the rise and
fall of Chinese villagers before World War I comes to life in this
evocative graphic novel by New York Times bestselling author Nick
Bertozzi.
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 story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife
O-Lan is must reading to fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have
occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during the last century.
Though more than eighty years have passed since this remarkable novel
won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and become one of
the great modern classics in American literature.
Now New York Times bestselling author Nick Bertozzi brings Buck's
timeless, epic novel to life with incredible imagery in this vivid
graphic novel. Through his Eisner Award-winning talents, Bertozzi
retraces the whole cycle of life depicted in the unforgettable original:
its terrors, its passions, its ambitions, and its rewards. Buck's
brilliant novel--beloved by millions of readers--is a universal tale of
an ordinary family caught in the tide of history, now accompanied by
beautiful, evocative images.
