Description To Books Der Drachenfisch. ( Ab 8 J.).

One of the more political novels from the pen of Pearl Buck, Dragon Seed brings to light the tragedy of the Japanese invasion and occupation of mainland China during WWII. Centering her story around the fictional family of Ling Tan, Buck recreates the heart wrenching devastation that war inflicted on these gentle innocent people. Ling Tan and his family were simple farmers living in peaceful isolation. Western technology, and likewise the machinery of war, were unknown in these outlying regions of China. And even though literacy was on the rise among the younger generations, the alarming reports of foreign aggression went largely ignored. For the peasants, the transition from one political ruler to another was virtually inconsequential; life revolved around their farms and their villages. Patriotism was not the concept of loving and defending a country; their land was their country. But as the invasion moves inland and the roads are jammed with survivors fleeing west, Ling Tan and his neighbors are forced to face the harsh realities of war. "Days passed and with the rulers gone the people held themselves the more steadfast knowing that they and they alone were left to stand against the enemy and upon each man himself now depended what would happen. So it had happened again and again in other times, for rulers anywhere are always the first to fly, and the people must stay behind to be steadfast.

love love pearl buck. she understood chinese people. i missed this one. saw the movie ugh. got the book. favorite is still pavilion of women.

I really enjoyed this book, like all of Pearl Buck's books. You feel like you know those characters and the story seemed realistic. She makes you care.There were loose ends at the end of the book. I wanted to know more about how things came out.

I am a Pearl S. Buck fan from way back, this particular book was interesting but not one of my favorites of hers, of which The Mother and Imperial Woman are my favorites. I love the author's way of telling a story and pulling you into the lives of her characters.

While this will never be one of my all time favorites, especially in comparison to Buck's The Good Earth, it was a worthy book. I did not like the ending of it, as it was somewhat anticlimactic, and felt as though with the many facets of the novel in place, something still needed to be said on certain fronts. However, there were things I did love about this book. I love Pearl Buck's style of writing, and this book was certainly in keeping with her usual work. She has a simple, storyteller's

If you never read anything else, read this. Forget The Good Earth, that's what most people associate with Pearl S. Buck (one of my most favorite novelists). Dragon Seed is one of the most inspired and hopeful, powerful books ever written, with truth about human nature which crosses over culture and time. I recommend it, without reservation, to everyone I ever meet who is the slightest bit interested in good literature.

Another great book by Pearl S. Buck! Love her writing!
