The novel follows Wang Lung, a Chinese peasant who, from extreme poverty, gradually carves out his destiny until he becomes a prosperous landowner. The land, the harvests and the family mark his life in rural China of the 1920s, while famines and social tensions test his fortune and his values.

For readers of fiction and historical fiction who want to approach the rural China portrayed by Pearl S. Buck.
