Brief review: Winner of Pulitzer Prize in 1932, it's a novel about a farmer named Wang Lung; his struggle, success and fate. It's takes you through a complete cycle of poverty, humility, passion, ambition and rewards. It's a brilliant piece of work. It even carries some timeless wisdom and philosophy in a subtle way. For me, it seemed to be lengthy and boring in the beginning but as I progressed, the story got me involved. It's a good read for fiction lovers.
