作者简介：
Pearl S. Buck was born on 26 June 1892 in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Her parents were Southern Presbyterian missionaries, most often stationed in China, and from childhood Pearl spoke both English and Chinese. She returned to China shortly after she graduated in 1914, and the following year she met a young agricultural economist named John Lossing Buck. They married in 1917, and immediately moved to Nanhsuchou in rural Anhwei province. In this impoverished community, Pearl Buch gathered the material that she would later use in The Good Earth.
Pearl began to publish stories and essays in the 1920s, in magazines such as The Nation, The Chinese Recorder, Asia and The Atlantic Monthly. Her first novel East Wind, West Wind, was published by the John Day Company in 1930. John Day's publisher, Richard Walsh, would eventually become Pearl's second husband, in 1935. 编辑推荐：
