One of the most popularliterary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her
long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her lifetime she
earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award: the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most
prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was
almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific literary output, which
consisted of some eighty - five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short
stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty
years old, some twenty - five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in
China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between
the cultures of the East and the West.
As the product of those two cultures she became as the described herself, "mentally bifocal." Her
unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine
the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a
wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot
really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime
with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the
Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author. is a captivating
subject of study.
