    Extractions: "The Three Daughters of Madame Liang" was Pearl S. Bucks last major novel and it holds its own with the best of her work. In Madame Liang, Buck has created a fascinating character, a woman who is very much her own person. After doing the very un-Chinese thing of leaving her husband when he takes a concubine, which he claims is his right because his wife has produced no son, Madame Liang determines to make her own way in the world and opens a gourmet restaurant that caters to the high and mighty of the Peoples Republic (even good Communists appreciate good food). She has not only survived, but thrived, by keeping a low profile and providing her customers with the best. But she has sent her three daughters, Grace, Mercy and Joy, to America to be educated; and now, after many years separation, Grace has been called home by her government to serve the new society.

    Extractions: This was a quick and easy read told in the first person through the eyes of a Chinese woman. Also its clear that the writers own loyalty to the Western thought of romantic love is all over this story. It is this notion that ultimately drives the narrator to give up her old ways and accept the new. Buck describes how difficult it is for one to accept change in age-old rituals. Although many of the traditions are seen as unnecessary, foolish or just plain sadistic, its difficult to question them after growing up in a culture where these traditions have been practiced for thousands of years. The narrator is a good vehicle to show how upsetting, confusing and frustrating it can be to incorporate these changes into ones life. Time and time again the theme of the generation gap is revealed, showing how many people simply cannot be changed.

    Extractions: Romancière américaine. Diplômée du collège féminin de Lynchburg, en Virginie, Pearl Buck passe la première partie de sa vie en Chine: d'abord, aux côtés de ses parents, missionnaires presbytériens; puis, auprès de John L. Buck, agronome attaché à la mission, son mari depuis 1917. Elle enseigne, notamment à Nankin. Dès 1923, elle rédige des articles et des nouvelles pour plusieurs magazines américains avant de publier son premier roman en 1929, Vent d'est, vent d'ouest. Deux ans plus tard, elle est doublement couronnée par le prix Pulitzer et la médaille de l'Académie américaine des arts et lettres pour la Terre chinoise (1931), première partie d'une trilogie complétée par les Fils de Wang Lung (1932) et la Famille dispersée (1935). A travers la lutte d'un paysan chinois et de sa femme esclave dans la Chine des «seigneurs de la guerre», Pearl Buck fait découvrir au lecteur occidental la réalité quotidienne d'un empire mystérieux. Divorcée en 1934, – année où elle publie la Mère – elle regagne les Etats-Unis et se remarie avec Richard Walsh, son éditeur. Mère, à la suite de son premier mariage, d'une petite fille attardée qu'elle évoque dans l'Enfant qui ne grandira jamais (1950), elle se consacre à l'enfance malheureuse: elle adopte elle-même plusieurs enfants et crée une fondation pour les enfants handicapés.

    Extractions: The Enemy Genre Short Story Keywords Acculturation Asian Experience Medical Ethics Physician Experience ... War and Medicine Summary An American-trained Japanese surgeon working in Japan during World War II, pulls a wounded American sailor, presumably an escaped POW, from the surf behind his home. Against the advice of his wife, he hides the sailor, operates on him, and preserves his life temporarily. Becoming fearful for his family, he reports what he has done to his patient, an official in the Japanese military. The officer says he will arrange to have the American assassinated in order to spare possible retribution against Sadao, the surgeon, and his family. It doesn't happen, and Sadao is left with determining how to rid himself of this hazard he has brought into his home and healed. He makes a series of decisions that lend themselves to widely varying interpretations in terms of his motivation. Commentary This story raises the high-level moral questions about ethics in the time of war. Does one's obligation to country supersede obligation to family? To self? To patient? When is a patient a patient, and when is he an enemy to be treated as threat? How are ethical principles prioritized when they are in conflict of this nature? And, in terms of the story itself, how does one examine the motives that drive Sadao to make his decisions? Are they virtue-based? Based in his culture as Japanese or his culture as surgeon? Or are they totally self-serving?
