About This Item
Pleasantville, NY: Reader's Digest Association, 1990. First Edition, First Thus . Hardcover. Fine/None as Issued. Mark Weakley (Illustrations). BRAND NEW Copy. Illustrated, embossed bi-color boards w/green faux leather back strap. Book dealer sticker to back cover verso. Fiction. First published 1913; this is complete reprint of the orginal text. Pulitzer prize winner (1923, One of Ours) author Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947) moved to Nebraska as a child and was reared among the immigrants who are often subjects of her novels. In this work, a masterful portrait of farming life a hundred years ago in Nebraska, she turns to the Nebraska prairies to tell of the heroic and creative qualities of the passing frontier.
Synopsis
O Pioneers!, Willa Cather's first great novel, is the classic American story of pioneer life as embodied by one remarkable woman and her singular devotion to the land. Alexandra Bergson arrives on the wind-blasted prairie of Nebraska as a young girl and grows up to turn it into a prosperous farm. In this unforgettable story,Cather conveys both the physical realities of the landscape, as well as the mythic sweep of the transformation of the frontier, more faithfully and perhaps more fully than any other work of fiction.
