«Viento del este, viento del oeste» is the novel by Pearl S. Buck, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Kwei-lan, a young Chinese woman educated in tradition, marries a doctor who has studied in the West; her life oscillates between family customs and her husband's modern ideas. The novel, set in early 20th-century China, addresses cultural clash, the role of women, and the search for identity in a changing society.
The work was originally published in 1930 as «East Wind, West Wind». This Spanish edition is from 1996.
For readers interested in classic narrative, historical fiction, and portrayals of cultural clash in 20th-century China.

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.
