«La madre» is the intimate novel by Pearl S. Buck, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (271 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows an anonymous Chinese peasant woman who, in the 1930s, supports her family in a rural village while facing poverty and loneliness. With no name for her or almost anyone else, Buck turns this woman into a symbol of motherhood and quiet effort, and paints a portrait of traditional China that brought the East closer to Western readers.
Translation by Carlos Paytuvi, with prologue and biographical sketch by Ángel Montoto. The original title of the work is The Mother.
For readers of classic fiction and stories about family life in rural China, as well as for those who want to delve deeper into the work of Pearl S. Buck.
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.
