Orange boards, dj with photo of Pearl Buck on back. First, 1957. "In this short novel are distilled many of the things Pearl Buck feels most strongly about: the continuity of family and the grip of one's roots in the nation and locality; the good and the bad that life holds for persons of mixed blood; the beauty of China...the wild beauty of Vermont...." Quoted from back flap.

This is a novel of hope, reconciliation and new beginnings. It is the story of an American father and his Amerasian born son living in Korea. Living at oppsite ends of It is not without some soul-searching and a great deal of understanding on the part of his American wife that they get together as a family. The father is an aspiring politician in Philadelphia. Put in shock and a moral dilemma by the sudden knowledge of his son conceived while a soldier stationed in Korea, the father weighs his political future against his responsibilities to himself and his wife. The situation is further complicated by his childless marriage. The New Year is very modern in its treatment of a politician's seemingly conflicting goals of public success and conscientious personal behavior. The story confronts the disparity of two cultures: east and west and two generations. It is a very timely book for all of those reasons, but the reward of reading this book is Pearl Buck's ability as a story teller.

One of the greatest classics of our time, this is the powerfully moving story of peasant Wang Lung--Of the family he founded that would one day become a powerful dynasty; of the gods he implored, sometimes with humility, sometimes with anger; and, above all, of the earth that sustained him, the land he made to prosper against the ravages of nature and the savage attcks of bandit tribes.
