Premier roman d'une trilogie qui retrace de façon magistrale la vie et les mœurs de la Chine au XIXè siècle, La Terre chinoise est dominée par le personnage d'O-len, laide, taciturne et courageuse, tout entière dévouée à son devoir. Admirable personnage de femme au silence héroïque, à l'abnégation totale. Un grand roman, une figure inoubliable.
Second in the trilogy that began with The Good Earth, Buck's classic and starkly real tale of sons rising against their honored fathers tells of the bitter struggle to the death between the old and the new in China. Revolutions sweep the vast nation, leaving destruction and death in their wake, yet also promising emancipation to China's oppressed millions who are groping for a way to survive in a modern age.
"A House Divided," the third volume of the trilogy that began with "The Good Earth" and "Sons," is a powerful portrayal of China in the midst of revolution. Wang Yuan is caught between the opposing ideas of different generations. After 6 years abroad, Yuan returns to China in the middle of a peasant uprising. His cousin is a captain in the revolutionary army, his sister has scandalized the family by her premarital pregnancy, and his warlord father continues to cling to his traditional ideals. It is through Yuan's efforts that a kind of peace is restored to the family.
