   No n'hi ha cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This pedestrian graphic novel adaptation barely hints at the greatness of the source material. My joy in revisiting the characters and story was muted by the clunky artwork and that clunkiness possibly causing an overreliance on caption narration instead of a show-don't-tell approach to the adaptation. I feel sorry for anyone who is using this an introduction to Pearl Buck's classic, because they are missing out on so much. (  ) villemezbrown | Jul 28, 2018 |  3.5 Stars A graphic novel interpretation of the classic novel, The Good Earth. 4 Stars - the narrative The writing reflects the original storyline and its themes well. The text was easy to follow and comprehend. 3 Stars - the artwork The illustrations did give off the overall feeling of the characters and plot, but for such a long graphic novel, I would have liked more variety or perhaps some color to offset the tone of the art. In short, the artwork was appropriate for the story, just not my cup of tea. I like that the story is now in a new medium for this classic story. For adaptation fans. Net Galley Feedback (  ) LibStaff2 | Jul 6, 2017 | A special thank you to Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This graphic novel by Nick Bertozzi gives a makeover to Pearl S. Buck's 1931 Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the rise and fall of Chinese villagers before WWI. Disclaimer: I didn't realize I was requesting a comic/graphic novel adaptation. If I had realized this, I wouldn't have requested the title. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised. This actually works as a graphic novel and I think that it will put this classic willingly into the hands of the YA audience.

In The Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck paints an indelible portrait of China in the 1920s, when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings. This moving story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-Lan is must reading to fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during the last century. Though more than eighty years have passed since this remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize, it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics in American literature.
