Pearl S. Buck won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for this engrossing narrative that tells the story of the impoverished Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-Lan as they struggle against war, famine, and human caprice to rise in fortune and status. The lives of Wang Lung and O-Lan become the lives of every person, and the novel traces the whole cycle of life—terrors, passions, ambitions, and rewards. More than a quaint story about a far-off country in an earlier time, this novel is a universal tale about people's destinies.
