In these six stories, Willa Cather vividly captures the character of early 1900s Pittsburgh, a place she called home during her formative years as a writer. She depicts a city a where culture is beginning to take root, rising from the harsh industrial landscape. Her characters, ranging from a skinny young usher boy to an elderly doctor, seek meaning in music, art, and human connection. Through them, Cather explores the dual nature of art as a higher purpose. Art tugs at the edges of human emotion, inspiring a sense of wonder, but also instilling an insatiable longing for beauty in a disorderly world. Cather deftly captures transient moments of brilliance and pain to convince us of this fundamental truth. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I cannot remember the names of the other three stories. I did feel bad for the man who was called home from Paris as his group of friends learn about their neighbor. I also felt sad for the school master who retires realizing he did not take risks and lived a staid life knowing his students would be working in the steel mills after graduation.
Willa Cather's writing was phenomenal. Her descriptions put you in the person's shoes. You see exactly what she sees. You feel what the character feels. I was glad I read these. ( )
