This Pulitzer Prize–winning classic tells the poignant tale of a Chinese farmer and his family in old agrarian China. The humble Wang Lung glories in the soil he works, nurturing the land as it nurtures him and his family. Nearby, the nobles of the House of Hwang consider themselves above the land and its workers, but they will soon meet their own downfall.
Hard times come upon Wang Lung and his family when flood and drought force them to seek work in the city. The working people riot, breaking into the homes of the rich and forcing them to flee. When Wang Lung shows mercy to one noble and is rewarded, he begins to rise in the world, even as the House of Hwang falls.

Interesting book depicting an Asian family and society of yesteryears. Had I not known it was written in the 1930s, I would not have been able to tell it wasn't written recently. Very good, great descriptions and characters. Well worth the Nobel Prize in literature.

TankeväckandeSmartInformativSorgligEn bok som tåls att läsas om. Den innehåller allt: Kärlek, lust, föräldraskapets svårigheter, fiendskap, svek och en inblick om böndernas villkor i Kina under 1900-talets första del.

SmartInformativEn klassiker. Man får insyn i den gamla kinesiska kulturen med den föråldrad syn på män och kvinnor och samhällsklyftorna. För min del, var denna berättelse lite långdragen men dock inte tråkig för det.
