Pearl Buck was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Literature. Until 1924 she lived principally in China, where she, her parents, and her first husband, John Lossing Buck, were missionaries. She is famous for vivid, compassionate novels about life in China. The Good Earth (1931; Pulitzer Prize), considered her finest work, describes a Chinese peasant's rise to wealth and brilliantly conveys a sense of the daily life of ordinary Chinese people. Among her other novels of China are East Wind: West Wind Dragon Seed Imperial Woman (1956), and Mandala (1971). In 1935, she married her publisher Richard J. Walsh, president of the John Day Company. In 1949 she founded Welcome House, which provided care for the children of Asian women and American soldiers; the Pearl Buck Foundation of Philadelphia, to which she consigned most of her royalties, aids in the adoption of Amerasian children.

http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_pearl_buck.html

Extractions: Pearl S. Buck lived much of her life in China. Her father, Absalom Sydenstricker, was a Presbyterian missionary stationed in the small town of Chinkiang, outside Nanking. Pearl was born in America in 1892 during her parents' home leave, but moved back to China at the age of three months. She was raised by a Chinese amah who told her popular tales and myths, and she could speak and write both English and Chinese by the age of four. She also played freely with the village children, and in this way learned much about Chinese life through experience. In 1900, when Pearl was eight years old, the Boxer Rebellion threw the Sydenstrickers' life into turmoil. Chinese nationalists turned on Westerners, and for a while the family feared for their lives. Absalom sent Pearl, her mother, and her baby sister to Shanghai, which was relatively safe for Westerners, but in 1901 the family returned to America. However, they were soon back in China again, regardless of danger. In 1909, Pearl enrolled in Miss Jewell's School in Shanghai, a school that had formerly been a place for privileged Western girls to be educated but had lost much of its prestige in the previous years. While studying there, Pearl also volunteered at The Golden Door, a shelter for Chinese slave girls and prostitutes. Her experience here would mold her as a writer and as a person; throughout her years in China, Pearl would continue to pay particular attention to the plight of oppressed and poor Chinese women and girls.

Extractions: Pearl Buck The Granger Collection, New York City SYDENSTRICKER, pseudonym JOHN SEDGES (b. June 26, 1892, Hillsboro, W.Va., U.S.d. March 6, 1973, Danby, Vt.), American author noted for her novels of life in China. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. She spent her youth in China, where her parents were Presbyterian missionaries. She received her early education in Shanghai and was graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg, Va., in 1914. She then returned to China and later became a university teacher in Nanking. Her articles and stories about Chinese life first appeared in American magazines in 1923, but it was not until 1931 that she reached a wide audience with The Good Earth which described sympathetically the struggle of a Chinese peasant and his slave-wife to gain land and position. That novel, widely translated, was followed by Sons (1932) and A House Divided (1935); the trilogy was published as The House of Earth In 1934 she was divorced from John L. Buck, a missionary; they had been married in 1917. She married Richard J. Walsh, a New York publisher, in 1935 and thereafter lived in the United States. After World War II, in a move to aid illegitimate children of U.S. servicemen in Asian countries, she instituted the Pearl S. Buck Foundation; in 1967 she turned over to the foundation most of her earningsmore than $7,000,000.
