My Antonia Mp3 cd - 2007

by Willa Cather; Read by Jeff Cummings


Summary

Lush descriptions of the rolling Nebraska grasslands interweave with the blossoming of a woman in the early days of the twentieth century, in an epic novel that chronicles America's past.

From the publisher

Widely recognized as Willa Cather's finest book and one of the outstanding novels of American literature, My ntonia tells of the life of early American pioneers in Nebraska.

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, ntonia'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 ntonia.

Infused with a gracious passion for the land, My ntonia is a deeply moving portrait of an entire community and its way of life.
