«La Madre» is Pearl S. Buck's novel about family life in traditional China, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (236 pages, in Spanish).
An unnamed Chinese peasant woman is the novel's protagonist, following her daily life in the 1930s. Pearl S. Buck shows the harsh conditions of the rural world and a society in transformation. Like the other characters, the woman remains anonymous and embodies the peasant mother, a counterpoint to O-Lang in «La buena tierra».
The work was originally published in English in 1933 under the title «The Mother»; the Spanish translation is by Carlos Paytuví de Sierra.
Suitable for readers of classic fiction, especially those seeking stories about rural 20th-century China or who have read «La buena tierra».
