A novel set in Nebraska about pioneering Bohemian farmers & of the courageous heroine, Antonia. First published in 1918. In Willa Cather's own estimation, My Antonia, first published in 1918, was "the best thing I've ever done." An enduring paperback bestseller on Houghton Mifflin's literary list, this hauntingly eloquent classic now boasts a new foreword by Kathleen Norris, Cather's soulmate of the plains. Infused with a gracious passion for the land, My Antonia embraces its uncommon subject - the hardscrabble life of the pioneer woman on the prairie - with poetic certitude, rendering a deeply moving portrait of an entire community. Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited Antonia Shimerda. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farmers' spouses. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women pioneers. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farm life. $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nebraska. $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcsh 856 42 $3 Reading group guide $u http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/readers%5Fguides/cather.shtml $z Valid as of Nov. 21, 2002 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hm021/95030223.html 856 1 $u http://www.unl.edu/Cather/ 856 1 $u http://www.teenreads.com/authors/au-cather-willa.asp 939 $a 1539340 941 $a 23 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012210.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525031619.0 952 $l TWPC862 $d 20230330010325.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310012347.0 952 $l CNPC792 $d 20220105012135.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118012428.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722013939.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20190614015101.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006035530.0 952 $l DZPB423 $d 20180713031541.0 952 $l DSPA413 $d 20180627014728.0 952 $l 7CPA413 $d 20160115014733.0 952 $l NGPB343 $d 20150402024244.0 952 $l ZLPD437 $d 20150213133235.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150213092458.0 952 $l XNPC367 $d 20130924010413.0 952 $l V3AX572 $d 20111101012022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5FE22442ADB11DE9500C205A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b UIB 952 $l 41SX706 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l 7YSX475 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O4AX446 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
