«Viento del este, viento del oeste» is the novel by Pearl S. Buck, published by Ediciones Altaya in the Premios Nobel Library in paperback (258 pages, in Spanish).
The author, raised in China, tells the story of a young Chinese woman married through a traditional arrangement who clashes with the modern mindset of her husband, educated in the West. The novel portrays the conflict between Eastern customs and Western influence in early 20th-century China, and how that clash affects family life and the role of women.
Pearl S. Buck won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938. This copy belongs to the «Biblioteca Premios Nobel» collection by Altaya and was published in 1995. The original English title is East Wind, West Wind.
