My Ántonia
ISBN: 9781516944644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. My Antonia, published in 1918, is the most famous work of American novelist Willa Cather. The novel takes the form of a fictional memoir written by Jim Burden about an immigrant girl named Antonia with whom he grew up in the American West. Cather, like her character Jim, moved to Nebraska when she was ten years old, and she bases many of the events, characters, and settings of the novel on her own childhood experiences. The novel forms a sort of "trilogy" with two other prairie novels by Cather, O Pioneers (1913) and The Song of the Lark (1915). For its time and context, My Antonia pushed...

"O Pioniere!" ist ein Meisterwerk des amerikanischen Realismus, das die Herausforderungen und Triumphe der schwedischen Siedlerfamilie Bergson in der Prärie Nebraskas am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts nachzeichnet. Mit bildreicher Sprache und einer klaren, unprätentiösen Prosa verwebt Willa Cather das Ringen der Hauptfigur Alexandra Bergson um Bestand und Fortschritt in einer rauen Landschaft mit tiefgründigen Betrachtungen zu Natur, Erbe und individueller Bestimmung. Dieses Werk steht exemplarisch für Cathers Gespür, den Widerstreit zwischen Mensch und Land als bestimmendes Motiv...

O Pioneers!

One January day, thirty years ago, the little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland, was trying not to be blown away. A mist of fine snowflakes was curling and eddying about the cluster of low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky. The dwelling-houses were set about haphazard on the tough prairie sod; some of them looked as if they had been moved in overnight, and others as if they were straying off by themselves, headed straight for the open plain. None of them had any appearance of permanence, and the howling wind blew under them as well as over...
