Celebrated author Pearl S. Buck was born in Pocahontas County,
West Virginia, then lived in China for many years. A prolific
writer, she published over 100 novels, 73 short stories and
more than 200 articles. She also translated books from Chinese
into English and produced 16 films. This considerable body of
work often deals with conflicts that arise when Eastern and
Western cultures meet. Pearl Buck was also a social activist
and humanitarian, speaking out on a number of causes,
including civil rights, women's rights and children's causes.
She won the Pulitzer Prize with her novel The Good
Earth and was the first American woman to win the Nobel
Prize for Literature. As Pearl S. Buck, Karen Vuranch relates
the Asian culture through the eyes of an American woman living
in China. This presentation is a moving portrayal of one of
the important women of the twentieth century.
