When O-lan, a servant girl, marries the peasant Wang Lung, she
toils tirelessly through four pregnancies for their family's
survival. Reward at first is meagre, but there is sustenance in the
land - until the famine comes. Half-starved, the family joins
thousands of peasants to beg on the city streets. It seems that all
is lost, until O-lan's desperate will to survive returns them home
with undreamt of wealth. But they have betrayed the earth from
which true wealth springs, and the family's money breeds only
mistrust, deception - and heartbreak for the woman who had saved
them. The Good Earthis a riveting family saga and story of female
sacrifice - a classic of twentieth-century literature.
