My Antonia Prebound - 1995
by Willa Cather; Foreword by Kathleen Norris; Adapted by Kathleen Norris
Infused with gracious passion for the land, this classic work embraces its uncommon subject--the hard life of the pioneer woman on the prairie--with poetic certitude, rendering a moving portrait of an entire community. Rediscovered by scores of readers every year, it remains a powerful ode to the pioneer spirit and a tribute to the romantic possibilities of the land.
From the rear cover
An enduring literary masterpiece first published in 1918, this hauntingly eloquent classic is an inspiring reminder of the rich past we have inherited. Willa Cather's lustrous prose, infused with a passion for the land, summons forth the hardscrabble days of the immigrant pioneer woman on the Nebraska plains, while etching a deeply moving portrait of an entire community. As Jim Burden revisits his childhood friendship with the free-spirited Antonia Shimerda, we come to understand the sheer fortitude of homesteaders on the prairie, the steadfast bonds cultivated there, and the abiding memories that such vast expanses inspire. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching Antonia, whose unfailing industry and infectious enthusiasm for life exemplify the triumphant vitality of an era.
