Rimske priče: izbor

Robijaši, kolonisti i kanaci

Sabrana dela 10: Mati
A poor Chinese peasant woman, abandoned by her husband, raises three children alone, struggling with hunger, poverty and social pressures. A moving story of maternal strength and sacrifice.
Sabrana dela 12: Paviljon žena
The novel The Pavilion of Women (1946) is one of Pearl S. Buck's most intimate and subtle stories. It is set among the old, wealthy Chinese Wu family, in the years immediately before the Japanese invasion.
Sabrana dela 13: Ponosito srce
Jedan od rjeđe spominjanih, ali vrlo snažnih romana Pearl S. Buck (1938.), koji se znatno razlikuje od njezinih kineskih saga. Priča o darovitoj, ponositoj ženi koja se bori da ostane i umjetnica i žena, u svijetu koji to teško prihvaća.
Sabrana dela 15: Sinovi
Nakon očeve smrti trojica sinova seljaka Wang Lunga napuštaju zemlju koju je on volio; rat, pohlepa i revolucija rastavljaju obitelj i rasturaju nasljedstvo.
Sabrana dela 16: Skriveni cvet
Roman je intimna, emotivna priča o zabranjenoj ljubavi u poslijeratnom Japanu. Jedno od najosobnijih djela Buckove na temu međurasnih odnosa. Manje epski, više psihološki i melankoličan od njezinih kineskih romana.
Sabrana dela 2: Dobra zemlja
Pearl S. Buck prikazuje život kineskog seljaka Wanga Lunga, njegov uspon od siromaštva do bogatstva te raspad obiteljskih veza. Roman istražuje odnos čovjeka i zemlje, tradicije, društvenih promjena i moralnih kušnji.
Sabrana dela 3: Drugi bogovi
The novel Other Gods is a satirical and psychological story about the American cult of celebrity, idolatry, and the need of the masses to create "gods" out of ordinary people.
Sabrana dela 6: Glasovi u kući
In the patrician Asher family, longtime servants and their daughter Jessica live in the shadow of their master; when the girl gets out of control, the stability of the house collapses.
