Reviews
Review this book!
On Mar 31, 2012, Freemason said
Read "Dragon Seed," March 2012. Very impressive. Storyline is somewhat similar to the "Good Earth," in that it is concerning war by Japan ("East Ocean Nation", and the farmer's life. The book I just read is dated 1942.I read "Good Earth" several years earlier, and seen the movie several times. Paul Muni was very good, and convincing to me (from a westerner's point of view?).Both books glorify the soil / earth. I am sure most people heard the saying..."above all else there is always the earth" (or similarly written).Do not know if there are any other follow-up books written about the same family!?
