description
s of several immigrant families who move to rural Nebraska to start new lives in America. When ten-year-old orphan Jim Burden is sent to live with his grandparents in Black Hawk, Nebraska, he meets and is instantly smitten by Ántonia Shimerda, the spirited eldest daughter of Bohemian immigrants. Through adventures, poverty, treachery, and tragedy the two form an enduring bond. Years later, Jim visits Ántonia and her husband, Anton Cuzak, on their farm in Nebraska and later offers a vivid, soulful account of their youth together. Widely recognized as Willa Cather's greatest novel and an outstanding work of American literature, My Ántonia, is a hauntingly evocative tribute to the quiet heroism of pioneers whose struggles and triumphs shaped the American Midwest. It is the final book of her Great Plains trilogy, which includes O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark. This Warbler Classics edition includes the original 1918 introduction by Cather and a detailed biographical timeline.
