The Good Earth
“The Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck is an enthralling tale of one man’s journey through life’s seasons, entwined with the cycles of the land he tills. Wang Lung, a humble farmer, rises from poverty to prosperity, guided by tradition and sheer will. The story, set in a rural Chinese village, unveils themes of love, struggle, and resilience. It’s a haunting reflection on the ebb and flow of life’s fortunes, inviting readers into a world both distant yet profoundly familiar.
