«Este y Oeste» is the collection of short stories by Pearl S. Buck, published by Luis de Caralt in hardcover (205 pages, in Spanish).
In these seven stories, Pearl S. Buck addresses the encounter between cultures and the tensions arising from the clash between tradition and modernity. The characters face identity, uprootedness and the search for belonging in a changing world, with a perspective that reflects the experience of those who live between two worlds.
The edition belongs to the collection 'La torre de marfil' and includes the translation from English by Domingo Manfredi Cano.
Recommended for readers interested in the narrative of the Nobel Prize winner and in stories about the encounter between East and West.
Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker Buck was an American writer and humanitarian. She is best known for The Good Earth, the best-selling novel in the United States in 1931 and 1932, which won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938, Buck became the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China" and for her "masterpieces", two memoir-biographies of her missionary parents.
