Dragon Seed is a novel by Pearl S. Buck first published in 1942. It describes the lives of Chinese peasants in a village outside Nanjing, China immediately prior to and during the Japanese invasion in 1937. Some characters seek protection in the city while others become collaborators. This story focuses less on the details of the attack and more on the characters’ reactions to the events in Nanking. The Nanking Massacre (commonly called the Rape of Nanking) describes months of horrific violence by the Imperial Japanese Army as they conquered the city; the novel takes place during these events. Ms. Buck opines in the novel that Japanese troops passing through China feel no responsibility for their conduct as they won’t be present to be confronted after the violence is over.Unlike Buck's earlier novel “The Good Earth,” “Dragon Seed” is entirely fictional and based on her own second-hand thoughts rather than personal experience.
