  From book jacket:

Set in pre-Revolutionary China, The Good Earth is the poignant story of Wang Lung, a rice farmer whose industry and commitment to the land enable him and his family to prosper. But unexpected drought forces the family south in search of food, and there they suffer the spiritual impoverishment of life in the city. Wang Lung’s courageous journey back to his farm is a spiritual affirmation of the values of the land.

Thanks. I've been waiting for this for a long time. By any chance, does someone have the recording with the female voice? Believe it or not her surname was Reader. She gives another slant to this great book. Wonder what the Chinese today think of it.

There are two additional titles in this trilogy: "Sons" and "A House Divided" Should you ever locate them as audio books, the upload would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You for this version of The Good Earth as narrated by George Guidall. He's one of the best so I'm sure this will be an excellent rendition of a classic

@neshaminy:
I haven't seen Pearl S Buck's other books in audio - Recorded Books, Books On Tape, Brilliance, Harper, Hachette, Random House, S&S, etc - none seem to have done them. Too bad.
If anyone finds info on those, let us know.

Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks to the seeders.

Thank you so much for this! I loved it! You wouldn't happen to have the other two books of the trilogy, would you? I'd love know what happens next and to keep following this family saga to the end. Thanks again.
