Pearl S. Buck's 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.
Although more than eighty years have passed since Pearl S. Buck's The
Good Earth won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and
become one of the great modern classics. This 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, tells the moving story of honest farmer Wang Lung and his
selfless wife O-Lan. It is must reading to fully appreciate the sweeping
changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during the
last century.
Displaying his Eisner Award-winning talents, New York Times
bestselling author Nick Bertozzi brings Buck's epic novel to life with
incredible imagery in this "finely rendered showcase...that perfectly
captures the story's timeless subject matter while also underscoring the
antiquity of the depicted world" (Kirkus Reviews). Bertozzi retraces
the whole cycle of life depicted in Buck's original novel: its terrors,
its passions, its ambitions, and its rewards. Now The Good Earth--the
universal tale of an ordinary family caught in the tide of
history--offers a whole new dimension with these beautiful, evocative
images.
