Description: The Woman Who Was Changed and Other Stories by Pearl S. Buck (1979, Hardcover). Six short stories and one novella center on one basic thematic concern: the outsider who, uncomfortable in the role society has imposed upon him, struggles to define his own existence Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker Buck Walsh (Pearl S. Buck) was a bestselling and Nobel Prize–winning author. Her classic novel The Good Earth (1931) was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and William Dean Howells Medal. Born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, Buck was the daughter of missionaries and spent much of the first half of her life in China, where many of her books are set. In 1934, civil unrest in China forced Buck back to the United States. Throughout her life she worked in support of civil and women’s rights, and established Welcome House, the first international, interracial adoption agency. In addition to her highly acclaimed novels, Buck wrote two memoirs and biographies of both of her parents. For her body of work, Buck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938, the first American woman to have done so. She died in Vermont. Copy is in good condition with exception of a water stain on back cover board (see photos). Otherwise appears unread.
