Classic Literatur Fictio Literatur Historical Fictio HTML:Four classic novels by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author who shed light on the lives of immigrant farmers in the American prairie.
Willa Cather is one of America's most treasured writers, and the first to bring independent female heroes to American literature. Her childhood in the woodlands of Virginia and on the prairies of Nebraska formed the inspiration for many of her novels, and her devotion to education provided the basis for her lifetime of achievement. This volume contains four of Willa Cather's most enduring works: O Pioneers!,The Song of the Lark, My Ántonia, and the Pulitzer Prize-winner, One of Ours.
My Ántonia recounts the struggles, triumphs, and deepening bonds of several immigrant families who start new lives in rural Nebraska. In Oh, Pioneers!, a young woman maintains the family farm even as other families leave the prairie. Cather's coming-of-age classic, The Song of the Lark, tells of a young woman who leaves home to become an artist. And One of Ours tells the timeless story of a farmer who enlists in the US Army at the dawn of World War I.
"The thing about Willa Cather's landscape and figures is that not only were they born alive but remain so after six decades."�??The Guardian
