The Golden Lotus, which Pearl S. Buck has called "the greatest novel of physical love which China has ever produced", was first published in England in 1939. It is now published unexpurgated, giving for the first time a complete and full translation into English.
This book is a picture of family life in a polygamous household, told with an extreme frankness and wealth of detail for which it would be hard to find a parallel in any other piece of fiction in the world.
