Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, an all time classic beloved by millions, The Good Earth tells the story of the rise of the House of Wang- the family of the Chinese peasant Wang Lung who gloried in the soil he worked. He held it above his family and above his gods and it sustained him. He held it against the ravages of nature and bandit tribes and he prospered. He planted the roots of a powerful dynasty- one of wives and concubines and many sons who would betray him.
