Synopsis
Pearl Buck's book, God's Men, is a strong novel. It covers the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 up to the struggles of the 1950's, from China, to America, to England. It dramatizes the lifelong confrontation of two men, both children of Protestant missionaries in China. One, Clem Miller, is a humanitarian whose goal is to feed the hungry people of the world and dedicates all of his energy and money to that end. William Lane, on the other hand, is a manipulative journalist whose wealth and influence drives him in his attempt to shape America to his own authoritarian beliefs.

About Bibliodditiques
Thank you for visiting the home page of BIBLIODDITIQUES - specializing in children's literature, non-fiction, and rare and antiquarian books. This year marks my 12th anniversary in the book trade. I am a graduate of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (2009) and a member of the IOBA (International Online Booksellers Association). I take pride in offering books that are of the same quality that I like to see in my own private collection. Books I sell must meet my own high standards of condition, which generally requires that the binding be tight, dust jackets be intact, and that there be no major defects. I do not offer books that are ex-library copies, unless they are hard to find in any condition. Customer satisfaction is very important to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and to send you photos of my listings upon request. Your patronage is greatly appreciated.
