La buena tierra

Set in pre-Revolution China, "The Good Land", a novel spanning three generations, focuses on the fortunes and misadventures of peasant Wang Lung, along with his silent and determined wife O-lan, former slave, and her family. Setbacks, sorrows, joys, hopes, triumphs and failures unforgettably mark the pages of this work that portrays the harsh living conditions of Chinese peasants in the midst of an almost medieval existence turned upside down by modern airs.
