   Extractions: Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) - original surname Sydenstricker; pseudonym John Sedges One of the most popular American authors of her day, humanitarian, crusader for women's rights, editor of Asia magazine, philanthropist, noted for her novels of life in China. Pearl S. Buck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. The decision of the Swedish Academy stirred controversy, especially among critics who believed that Buck lacked the stature the Nobel Prize was intended to confirm. Nowadays Buck's books are generally considered dated although attempts have been made to rehabilitate her work. "One does not live half a life in Asia without return. When it would be I did not know, nor even where it would be, or to what cause. In our changing world nothing changes more than geography. The friendly country of China, the home of my childhood and youth, is for the time being forbidden country. I refuse to call it enemy country. The people in my memory are too kind and the land too beautiful." (from A Bridge for Passing Pearl S. Buck was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia. She spent her youth in China, in Chinkiang on the Yangtse River. She learned to speak Chinese before she could speak English. Her parents were missionaries. Buck's father, Absalom Sydenstricker, was a humorless, scholarly man who spent years translating the Bible from Greek to Chinese. Her mother, the former Caroline Stulting, had travelled widely in her youth and had a fondness for literature. Buck's life in China was not always pleasant. When she was only a child, the family was forced to flee from the rebel forces of the Boxer Rebellion.

    Extractions: Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker was born on June 26, 1892, in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Her parents, Absalom and Caroline Sydenstricker, were Southern Presbyterian missionaries, stationed in China. Pearl was the fourth of seven children (and one of only three who would survive to adulthood). She was born when her parents were near the end of a furlough in the United States; when she was three months old, she was taken back to China, where she spent most of the first forty years of her life. The Sydenstrickers lived in Chinkiang ( Zhenjiang ), in Kiangsu (Jiangsu) province, then a small city lying at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. Pearl's father spent months away from home, itinerating in the Chinese countryside in search of Christian converts; Pearl's mother ministered to Chinese women in a small dispensary she established. From childhood, Pearl spoke both English and Chinese. She was taught principally by her mother and by a Chinese tutor, Mr. Kung. In 1900, during the Boxer Uprising, Caroline and the children evacuated to Shanghai, where they spent several anxious months waiting for word of Absalom's fate. Later that year, the family returned to the US for another home leave. In 1910, Pearl enrolled in

Her dad, Absalom Sydenstricker, dedicated himself to the cause of saving China's heathens. Lacking a sense of humor himself, he worried that his wife Carrie might be "morally frivolous" with her tendency to laughter. Carrie was lonely and lost in China where she buried four of her children, and became so embittered that she refused to see Absalom on her deathbed. Pearl saw her dad as a fanatic who belittled her work and worth, and her mom as a woman shackled by the deference demanded by her culture. She was also exposed to a Chinese disregard for women and various social horrors. Later, during the war with Japan, she witnessed numerous casualties and had to hide with other Americans when the Japanese plundered Nanking. At 17, she traveled to Europe, England and the U.S. Growing up and living her life as a world citizen, she was at home everywhere and never fully belonged anywhere. Buck graduated from college in Virginia in 1914 and returned to China to do agricultural work and teach at the University of Peking.

    Extractions: Danby, Vermont, United States Pearl Sydenstricker Buck , most familiarly known as Pearl Buck (birth name Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker ) (June 26, 1892 – March 6, 1973), was a prolific American writer and Nobel Prize winner for Literature. She is considered to be one of the most prominent writers of American naturalism , carrying on in the tradition of objective, journalistic prose pioneered by writers such as Frank Norris and Stephen Crane . Although she lived during the period dominated by literary Modernism , her prose stood out for its clear accessibility, as well as for its overarching concern with the moral pratfalls of society. In addition to her elegant style and her acute sense of morality, Buck is also in important figure in the history of American literature due to her connections with the cultures of Asia, and China in particular. Buck, born to missionary parents, lived the first 18 years of her life in China, learned Chinese as her first language, and spent much of her career explicitly concerned with the troubled relations and conflicting values of the East and West. Her novel, The Good Earth , for which she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize , is considered to be one of the greatest works of Asian literature written from a Western perspective. Buck remains an important figure to scholars of Asian, Asian-American, and American
