Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) - original surname Sydenstricker; pseudonym John Sedges One of the most popular American authors of her day, humanitarian, crusader for women's rights, editor of Asia magazine, philanthropist, noted for her novels of life in China. Pearl S. Buck was awarded the Nobel Price for Literature in 1938. The decision of the Swedish Academy stirred controversy, especially among critics who believed that Buck lacked the stature the Nobel Prize was intended to confirm. Nowadays Buck's books are generally considered dated although attempts have been made to rehabilitate her work. "One does not live half a life in Asia without return. When it would be I did not know, nor even where it would be, or to what cause. In our changing world nothing changes more than geography. The friendly country of China, the home of my childhood and youth, is for the time being forbidden country. I refuse to call it enemy country. The people in my memory are too kind and the land too beautiful." (from A Bridge for Passing Pearl S. Buck was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia. She spent her youth in China, in Chinkiang on the Yangtse River. She learned to speak Chinese before she could speak English. Her parents were missionaries. Buck's father, Absalom Sydenstricker, was a humorless, scholarly man who spent years translating the Bible from Greek to Chinese. Her mother, the former Caroline Stulting, had travelled widely in her youth and had a fondness for literature. Buck's life in China was not always pleasant. When she was only a child, the family was forced to flee from the rebel forces of the Boxer Rebellion.

Extractions: Pearl Buck The Good Earth novel cover Essay Topics and Critical Commentary Essay Topics Identify the most significant symbol in the novel and justify your choice. State one possible theme of the novel, and support your position. Give your opinion on why The Good Earth is considered an important novel in the canon of world literature, and why it was seminal in the nomination of Buck as a Nobel Prize winner. Appraise a significant conflict in the novel, and judge its thematic importance. Instructor's Recommendation: A basic tenet of the novel seems to be that virtue and hard work are rewarded. Yet, the riches that are brought back from the South (truly a turning point of the novel) are acquired through "chance" and trickery. Similarly, at the end of the novel, the roots established by Wang Lung will obviously be pulled up as the land is sold and divided by the sons. Are these events consistent with the novel's message that "virtue and hard work are rewarded"?

Extractions: Pearl Buck The Granger Collection, New York City SYDENSTRICKER, pseudonym JOHN SEDGES (b. June 26, 1892, Hillsboro, W.Va., U.S.d. March 6, 1973, Danby, Vt.), American author noted for her novels of life in China. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. She spent her youth in China, where her parents were Presbyterian missionaries. She received her early education in Shanghai and was graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg, Va., in 1914. She then returned to China and later became a university teacher in Nanking. Her articles and stories about Chinese life first appeared in American magazines in 1923, but it was not until 1931 that she reached a wide audience with The Good Earth which described sympathetically the struggle of a Chinese peasant and his slave-wife to gain land and position. That novel, widely translated, was followed by Sons (1932) and A House Divided (1935); the trilogy was published as The House of Earth In 1934 she was divorced from John L. Buck, a missionary; they had been married in 1917. She married Richard J. Walsh, a New York publisher, in 1935 and thereafter lived in the United States. After World War II, in a move to aid illegitimate children of U.S. servicemen in Asian countries, she instituted the Pearl S. Buck Foundation; in 1967 she turned over to the foundation most of her earningsmore than $7,000,000.

Extractions: It has just been announced that Pearl S. Buck has won the 1938 Nobel Prize for Literature. Wo pu hsiang hsin (I dont believe it). Thats ridiculous. It should have gone to Dreiser. (Conn 207) These were Pearl S. Bucks first words after hearing the announcement that she had indeed won the Nobel Prize. There was surprise and pleasure that she had won, but there was also a lot of tension. Pearl had received the prize as an American. However, she had lived in China the first forty years of her life, and the majority of her writings had to do with Chinese topics. Therefore, both the Asians and Americans were irritated that an American won the Nobel Prize for Asian topics. This problem caused the award to have a strong impact both positively and negatively on Pearl Bucks life. Pearl S. Buck was a spectacular writer who showed Americans that their writing had come of age (Conn 209). It was possible for an American to create superior stories and essays having to do with foreign countries. The Nobel Prize just seemed to sum up these experiences. She attributed all her success to the beloved people of China who formed her, fed her, and shaped her as she was forever (David Buck 29). No hardships had stopped her from taking care of and writing about the people she admired the most.
