Fighting Angel: Portrait of a Soul is Pearl S. Buck's profoundly touching memoir of her zealous Southern Presbyterian missionary father, Absalom Sydenstricker. Andrew (as he is called in the book) set off for China in 1880 and spent most of the next half century there until his death in 1931. From isolated settlements in the poor, hostile interior, he made long preaching trips through lands convulsed by famine, banditry, and revolution. Sydenstricker was a tragic Captain Ahab figure whose life's work brought only a trickle of converts. His battles against church authorities - he was ahead of his time in wanting local Christians to be given greater power and in pushing for vernacular Chinese texts - meant ostracism by his colleagues and superiors. Above all, his fanatical devotion brought death and suffering to his family. Fighting Angel, which was published in late 1936, is a companion biography to Buck's loving portrait of her mother, The Exile: Portrait of an American Mother, published earlier that year. Both books won great popular and critical success. When, in 1938, Pearl S. Buck became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, it was not only "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China" but also "for her biographical masterpieces." Fighting Angel is a more balanced biography and the superior of the pair. In fact, in her acclaimed Burying the Bones, Pearl biographer Hilary Spurling ranks Fighting Angel after The Good Earth as "probably the best book Pearl ever wrote," praising the memoir for its "combination of cool, sharp, scrutinizing intelligence and passionate emotion."

”Hans første hustru og andre fortællinger” tager os med tilbage til starten af det tyvende århundrede, hvor det kinesiske samfund stadig var dybt rodfæstet i gamle traditioner. Baseret på sin egen barndom og ungdom i det landlige Kina fortæller Pearl S. Buck om ulmende revolutioner, mødet mellem østlige og vestlige kulturer og ikke mindst de enorme konsekvenser, det havde, da Asiens længste flod, Yangtze, oversvømmede i 1931. En naturkatastrofe, der kostede flere millioner mennesker livet. Bogen udkom første gang i 1933. Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) var en amerikansk forfatter og social aktivist, der er bedst kendt for sine romaner om kinesisk kultur og historie. Hun blev født i West Virginia, men tilbragte halvdelen af sit liv i Kina, hvor hendes far var missionær. Hendes forfatterskab spillede en vigtig rolle i at introducere vestlige læsere til kinesiske samfundsforhold. Hendes mest kendte roman ”Den gode jord” vandt Pulitzerprisen, og i 1938 modtog hun som den første amerikanske kvinde Nobelprisen i litteratur.

Han ved, at Kina har forandret sig, og at familien vil ende i fattigdom, hvis de vender hjem.” Blodets røst” udkom første gang i 1949 og er en spændende skildring af forskellene mellem Øst og Vest og kløften imellem to generationer af kinesiske udvandrere. Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) var en amerikansk forfatter og social aktivist, der er bedst kendt for sine romaner om kinesisk kultur og historie.

”’Georgia!’ sagde han brat. Hun kiggede uroligt på ham, og nu så han ind i hendes sorte øjne, øjne, der var så store og dybe, at han igen følte sig ubehageligt til mode. ’Ønsker du at få udbetalt din løn?’Hun svarede stammende: ’Ja, sir, hvis De siger det…’’Georgia, du kan forlade værelset,’ sagde Lucinda skarpt. Den unge pige forsvandt, som om hun slet ikke havde eksisteret.’Du skal ikke skræmme hende, Luce,’ sagde Pierce.’Du skulle ikke blande dig i noget mellem min kammerpige og mig, Pierce.’ svarede Lucinda.” Den amerikanske borgerkrig er slut, men den rige sydstatskvinde Lucinda nægter at acceptere, at slaveriet er afskaffet. Mens resten af hendes familie og omgangskreds langsomt forsøger at vænne sig til de nye tider, bliver Lucinda mere og mere stædig i sin racisme og nostalgi. Samtidig plages hun af en irrationel frygt for, at hendes mand skal forlade hende for en af sine tidligere slavinder – det var nemlig det, hans bror gjorde mod sin kone.” Hvem kaster den første sten” er en rammende skildring af de amerikanske sydstater i årene efter borgerkrigen og et skarpt portræt af en jaloux og fejlbarlig kvinde, der nægter at følge med tiden. Bogen udkom første gang i 1946. Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) var en amerikansk forfatter og sinolog, som skrev en lang række anmelderroste romaner. I 1938 fik hun som den første amerikanske kvinde tildelt Nobelprisen i litteratur. Pearl S. Buck skrev både romaner og biografier, og mange af hendes bøger foregår blandt bønderne i Kina. Hun er særligt kendt for romanen ”Den gode jord”, der ligesom en lang række af hendes bøger er blevet oversat til flere fremmedsprog.

”Under vinceremonien kastede jeg et stjålent blik på ham under de røde frynser på mit slør. Jeg så ham stå der i sin stive, sorte, udenlandske dragt. Han var høj og slank som en ung bambusstamme. Mit hjerte blev skiftevis koldt og varmt. Jeg var syg efter et hemmeligt blik fra ham. Men han vendte ikke sine øjne mod mig for at se igennem mit slør. Vi drak bægrene med vin sammen. Vi bøjede os for hans forfædres mindetavler. Jeg knælede sammen med ham foran hans ophøjede forældre. Jeg blev deres datter og forlod for bestandig min egen familie og slægt. Han så ikke en eneste gang på mig.” En ung kinesisk overklassepige bliver giftet bort til en mand, hun ikke kender. Hun spørger sig selv, hvad hun har gjort galt, siden han ikke viser hende den mindste interesse. Hendes mand er læge, og hans syn på kinesiske traditioner er helt anderledes, end hun er vant til. Det er først, da hun viser, at hun er villig til at udfordre traditionerne, at de begynder at nærme sig hinanden.” Østenvind – Vestenvind” er en fortælling fra den kinesiske overklasse omkring århundredskiftet. Bogen viser, hvor store konsekvenser det kunne have, når unge kinesere forsøgte at bryde med deres forældres rigide forventninger til dem. Det er også en fortælling om, hvor ondt det kan gøre, hvis man igen og igen forsøger at indordne sig under andres regler. Bogen udkom første gang i 1930. Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) var en amerikansk forfatter og social aktivist, der er bedst kendt for sine romaner om kinesisk kultur og historie. Hun blev født i West Virginia, men tilbragte halvdelen af sit liv i Kina, hvor hendes far var missionær.

A “groundbreaking” memoir about raising a special-needs daughter in an era of misinformation and prejudice—a classic that helped transform our perceptions (Publishers Weekly). It was my child who taught me to understand so clearly that all people are equal in their humanity and that all have the same human rights. Pearl S. Buck is known today for earning a Nobel Prize in Literature and for such New York Times–bestselling novels as The Good Earth. What many do not know is that she wrote that great work of art with the motivation of paying for a special school for her oldest daughter, Carol, who had a rare developmental disorder. What was called “mental retardation” at the time—though some used crueler terms—was a disability that could cause great suffering and break a parent’s heart. There was little awareness of how to deal with such children, and as a result some were simply hidden away, considered a source of shame and stigma, while others were taken advantage of because of their innocence. In this remarkable account, which helped bring the issue to light, Pearl S. Buck candidly discusses her own experience as a mother, from her struggle to accept Carol’s diagnosis to her determination to give her child as full and happy a life as possible, including a top-quality education designed around her needs and abilities. Both heartrending and inspiring, The Child Who Never Grew provides perspective on just how much progress has been made in recent decades, while also offering common sense and timeless wisdom for the challenges still faced by those who love and care for someone with special needs. It is a clear-eyed and compelling read by a woman renowned for both her literary talent and her humanitarian spirit.
