Über den Autor
Willa Siebert Cather was born in 1873 in the home of her maternal grandmother in western Virginia. Although she had been named Willela, her family always called her "Willa." Upon graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1895, Cather moved to Pittsburgh where she worked as a journalist and mehr anzeigen teacher while beginning her writing career. In 1906, Cather moved to New York to become a leading magazine editor at McClure's Magazine before turning to writing full-time. She continued her education, receiving her doctorate of letters from the University of Nebraska in 1917, and honorary degrees from the University of Michigan, the University of California, Columbia, Yale, and Princeton. Cather wrote poetry, short stories, essays, and novels, winning awards including the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, One of Ours, about a Nebraska farm boy during World War I. She also wrote The Professor's House, My Antonia, Death Comes for the Archbishop, and Lucy Gayheart. Some of Cather's novels were made into movies, the most well-known being A Lost Lady, starring Barbara Stanwyck. In 1961, Willa Cather was the first woman ever voted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame. She was also inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners in Oklahoma in 1974, and the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca, New York in 1988. Cather died on April 24, 1947, of a cerebral hemorrhage, in her Madison Avenue, New York home, where she had lived for many years. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen
Meine Antonia. Roman. ( Die Frau in der Literatur). von Willa Cather
wunderschöner Episodenroman aus der Pionierzeit im ländlichen Nebraska
Zwei Kinder fahren 1880 mit dem Zug nach Nebraska, Jim hat seine Eltern verloren und fährt zu seinen Großeltern und Antonia kommt mit ihrer Familie aus Böhmen um in Amerika einen Neuanfang zu wagen. Jim erzählt die Geschichte von Antonia. Vom Überleben unter einfachsten Bedingungen, vom Kampf der Menschen um ihre Existenz. Wunderbar erzählt.
Die Wiederentdeckung einer großen, zeitlosen Erzählerin
Antonia, ein junges böhmisches Mädchen, wandert 1880 mit ihren Eltern nach Amerika aus. In der Steppe von Nebraska erwartet sie ein äußerst karges Leben, und schon bald muss sie für den Lebensunterhalt ihrer ganzen Familie aufkommen. Doch Antonia ist klug, zielstrebig und schön. Wild entschlossen nimmt sie ihr Schicksal in die Hand.
Eine unsentimentale, meisterhaft erzählte Hommage an eine grandiose Natur und an jene Menschen, die in der Neuen Welt für ein freies Leben aus eigener Kraft kämpften.
