설명

Set against the backdrop of rural China in the 1920s, a humble farmer's life unfolds in a compelling narrative of struggle, resilience, and growth. The protagonist's connection to the land serves as both a source of sustenance and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who toil upon it. As he navigates the complexities of family, culture, and societal change, his journey reflects the universal themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the hope for a better future.

This timeless story delves into the intricate relationships within a family, as love and conflict intertwine. The farmer's devotion to his roots propels him forward, but the tale also highlights the challenges posed by modernity and the shifting tides of fortune. Through vivid imagery and rich character development, the narrative captures the essence of rural life and the inevitable impact of the outside world on tradition.

Buck's evocative prose creates a deep sense of place, bringing the landscapes and hardships of ancient China to life. Readers find themselves immersed in the joys and tribulations of farming life, as well as the moral dilemmas faced by those who seek prosperity in an ever-changing environment. With each chapter, the bond between man and earth deepens, illustrating a profound connection that transcends time.

Ultimately, the story serves as a reflection on the cyclical nature of life, emphasizing the interplay between prosperity and hardship. It reveals how one's roots can provide both strength and vulnerability, framing a poignant exploration of what it means to be truly fulfilled. The journey is not just one of a farmer, but a testament to the human experience itself.

리뷰

3.0

Ce roman retrace la vie d'un paysan chinois au XIXème siècle, du jour où il épouse sa femme jusqu'à son décès. On va le suivre prendre des décisions difficiles, accueillir ses joies mais aussi ses malheurs, dans sa pauvreté puis sa richesse. Si ce roman était très intéressant d'un point de vue historique et culturel, je n'ai pas réussi à passer un agréable moment de lecture pour la simple raison que les conditions des femmes étaient épouvantables. En effet, elles apparaissent comme des "femmes-esclaves", et j'ai beau savoir que cela a véritablement eu lieu, c'était très désagréable à découvrir, surtout du point de vue du protagoniste principal qui normalise totalement ce mode de fonctionnement (ce qui est totalement réaliste, on est d'accord, mais n'en reste pas moins pénible à lire). Autrement, je dois souligner que ce roman dépeint une histoire qui paraît très crédible, avec les aléas de la vie et des personnages tous très gris.
