A New York Times-bestselling historical novel about the Japanese invasion of
Nanking from the author of The Good Earth.
Farmer Liang Tan knows only a quiet, traditional life in his remote Chinese
farming community. When news filters in that Japanese forces are invading the
country, he and his fellow villagers believe that if they behave decently to the
Japanese soldiers, the civilians might remain undisturbed. They're in for a
shock, as the attackers lay waste to the country and install a puppet government
designed to systematically carry out Japanese interests. In response, the
Chinese farmers and their families form a resistance-which not only carries
grave risk, but also breaks their vow of nonviolence, leading them to wonder if
they're any different than their enemy.
Later adapted into a film featuring Katharine Hepburn, Dragon Seed is a
brilliant and unflinching look at the horrors of war.
