Title Details
Description
My Antonia is the story of Antonia Shimerda who arrives on the Nebraska frontier as part of a family of Bohemian emigrants. Her story is told through the eyes of Jim Burden, a neighbor. Working the fields of waving grass and tall corn that dot the Great Plains, Antonia forges the durable spirit that will carry her through the challenges she faces when she moves to the city. But only when she returns to the prairie does she recover her strength and regain a sense of purpose in her life.My Antonia evokes the Nebraska prairie life and in the quiet, probing depth of Willa Cather's art becomes a moving elegy to those whose persistence and strength helped build the American Frontier.
