«La estirpe del dragón» is the historical novel by Pearl S. Buck published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (318 pages, in Spanish).
A Chinese peasant family sees their lives and lands devastated by the Japanese invasion. Between flight and resistance, they suffer the cruelty of the occupier, scarcity and the breakdown of traditional bonds. Pearl S. Buck portrays war from those who remain clinging to the land, making their survival an act of dignity.
The work was originally published as «Dragon Seed» in 1941, with a Spanish translation by Juan G. Luaces.
For readers of historical fiction and classic narrative, interested in 20th-century China and war seen from the civilian population.
