Pearl Sydenstricker (wife Buck), born in Hillsboro (West Virginia) on June 26, 1892, and died on Mars 6, 1973 in Danby (Vermont), is an American woman of letters. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938. When she was only 3 months old, her Presbyterian missionary parents left for China near Chinkiang, then for Shanghai, where she learned Mandarin before English. She attended university at Randolph Macon in Virginia, then returned to China where she married John Buck, an American agricultural engineer in 1917, with whom she went to Suzhou, in Eastern China. She then settled in Nanjing until 1927, then in Japan and returned in 1933 to the United States, where she divorced in 1935. In 1930 his first novel, inspired by China, appeared, opening a major novel cycle: East Wind, West Wind. In 1931, La Terre Chinoise, inspired by his stay in Suzhou, enjoyed immense success (equal to that of Quo Vadis). She is the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, won in 1932 for Chinese Land. This work, successfully adapted for the cinema under the title Faces of the Orient, was extended by The Sons of Wang Lung (1932) and The Dispersed Family (1935). Pearl Buck's literary production is abundant and includes novels, short stories, plays, essays, collections of poems and even a cookbook. Some of his novels were written under the pseudonym John Sedges. Most evoke the country of his childhood and are inspired by Chinese folk art. His works, written in a simple and concise style, communicate to Western audiences his love for China and its people. Their success certainly has a lot to do with the attraction in the West for this region of the world. In China, where the author's popularity has never waned, she is considered, without irony, as a true Chinese author1. In A Proud Heart (1938), she poses the problem of the woman artist and exposes a woman's conflict between her work as a sculptor and her life as a wife and mother. His daughter's illness (phenylketonuria2) inspired him in particular The Child Who Couldn't Grow Up (1950). Pearl Buck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938 for “his rich and epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for his biographical masterpieces3”. She created a humanitarian foundation in Pennsylvania for the adoption of abandoned children and devoted time and money to it and also to the rights of women and minorities.
