Buck's The Good Earth won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics.

It is must reading to fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during the last century.Displaying his Eisner Award–winning talents, New York Times bestselling author Nick Bertozzi brings Buck's epic novel to life with incredible imagery in this "finely rendered showcase…that perfectly captures the story's timeless subject matter while also underscoring the antiquity of the depicted world" (Kirkus Reviews).
