   Aug 21, 2012 · Nevertheless, Dragon Seed, originally published in 1942, is not her best work, and though I did enjoy it I must confess at times it left me scratching my head. Buck is best-known for her 1931 novel The Good Earth. To those who have read that great work, the opening chapters of Dragon Seed feel like familiar territory.

   Is Dragon Seed a good book?

   • A strain of crazed, self-righteous fanaticism runs throughout Pearl S. Buck's work. In her better novels, such as The Good Earth, her storytelling skills are so strong that this fault, as I see it, fades into the background. But Dragon Seed is not one of her better works. It amounts to little more than wartime propaganda.

   Is Dragon Seed based on a true story?

   • Buck opines in the novel that Japanese troops passing through China feel no responsibility for their conduct as they won’t be present to be confronted after the violence is over. Unlike Buck's earlier novel The Good Earth, Dragon Seed is entirely fictional and based on her own secondhand thoughts rather than personal experience.

   Aug 21, 2012 · The young men bent again to their work and with each swift thrust of their hands into the muddy tepid water they planted a green seedling. Their feet sank into the rich mud under the water, and upon their dark bare backs the sun was warm. Beneath the wide woven bamboo hats upon their heads they talked.
