«Hombres de Dios» is a novel by Pearl S. Buck published by Planeta in its Premios Nobel collection, in hardback, with 255 pages, in Spanish.
Two American children, sons of missionary families, grow up in China conditioned by their religious heritage. As adults they take opposite paths: one achieves power; the other, moved by a simple idea, becomes rich despite himself and wants to spread it around the world. Both return to China and their reunion provokes an inevitable clash.
This 1973 edition is the first volume of the work, originally published as God's Men in 1951; translation by Juan G. de Luaces.
Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker Buck was an American writer and humanitarian. She is best known for The Good Earth, the best-selling novel in the United States in 1931 and 1932, which won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938, Buck became the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China" and for her "masterpieces", two memoir-biographies of her missionary parents.
