Emigrating from Bohemia to Black Hawk, Nebraska, with her family,
Antonia discovers no white-framed farmhouse or snug barn. Instead,
the cultured Shimerda family finds itself huddled in a primitive
sod house buffeted by the ceaselessly blowing winds on the Midwest
prairie. For her childhood friend Jim Burden, Antonia comes to
embody the elemental spirit of this frontier. Working alongside
men, she survives without compromising the rich, deep power of her
nature. And Willa Cather's lush descriptions of the rolling
Nebraska grasslands interweave with the blossoming of a woman in
the early days of the twentieth century in a novel that is an epic
chronicle of America's past. My Antonia is one of those rare,
highly prized works of great literature that not only enriches its
readers but immerses them in a tale superbly told. The novel Cather
herself considered her best, "My Antonia" is one of those rare,
highly prized works of great literature that not only enriches its
readers but immerses them in a tale superbly told.
With an Introduction by Marilyn Sides
and a New Afterword by Terese Svoboda
