The second installment in Pearl S. Buck’s acclaimed Good Earth
trilogy: the powerful story of three brothers whose greed will bring
their family to the brink of ruin Sons begins where The Good Earth
ended: Revolution is sweeping through China. Wang Lung is on his
deathbed in the house of his fathers, and his three sons stand ready
to inherit his hard-won estate. One son has taken the family’s
wealth for granted and become a landlord; another is a thriving
merchant and moneylender; the youngest, an ambitious general, is
destined to be a leader in the country. Through all his life’s
changes, Wang did not anticipate that each son would hunger to sell
his beloved land for maximum profit. At once a tribute to early
Chinese fiction, a saga of family dissension, and a depiction of the
clashes between old and new, Sons is a vivid and compelling masterwork
of fiction. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl
S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.
