  • "Ling Taan, a Chinese peasant farmer, had a loyal, affectionate wife and three strong sons. For many years the rich land brought comfort and security to his family. Then the enemy invaded and the old life was shattered. A sick woman was raped and murdered.Forgien soldiers plundered Ling Tan's farm. They ravished his youngest son whowent to hide his shame in the hills. They killed his daughter-in-law. In grief and desperation Ling Tan and his family started to fight back."@en
  • "Translation of "Dragon's seed". Describes the miseries inflicted on the Chinese common folk by the Japanese who occupied their country during the war, and how the Chinese learned to fight back."
  • "A Nobel laureate’s gripping historical novel about the Japanese invasion of Nanking Farmer Liang Tan knows only a quiet, traditional life in his remote Chinese farming community. When news filters in that Japanese forces are invading the country, he and his fellow villagers believe that if they behave decently to the Japanese soldiers, the civilians might remain undisturbed. They’re in for a shock, as the attackers lay waste to the country and install a puppet government designed to systematically carry out Japanese interests. In response, the Chinese farmers and their families form a resistance—which not only carries grave risk, but also breaks their vow of nonviolence, leading them to wonder if they’re any different than their enemy. Later adapted into a film featuring Katharine Hepburn, Dragon Seed is a brilliant and unflinching look at the horrors of war. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate."
  • "The farmer Ling Tan, and his wife and sons and daughters live in Nanking during the Japanese assault. This book covers the fall and rape of the city and life of the people afterward under the heels of a bestial master who rules but cannot conquer."@en
