Beschreibung:
Pearl Buck was one of the most renowned, interesting and controversial figures ever to influence American and Chinese cultural and literary history--and yet she remains one of the least studied, honored or remembered. This cultural biography of the author of The Good Earth offers a dual portrait of Buck, a figure greater than history cares to remember, and of the era she helped to shape.Photos.
