"A New York lawyer remembers his boyhood i n Nebraska and his friendship with a pioneer Bohemian girl. A novel set in Nebraska about pioneering Bohemian farmers &\; of the courageous heroi ne\, Antonia. First published in 1918. In Willa Cather's own estimation\, My Antonia\, first published in 1918\, was "the best thing I've ever done. " An enduring paperback bestseller on Houghton Mifflin's literary list\, t his hauntingly eloquent classic now boasts a new foreword by Kathleen Norr is\, Cather's soulmate of the plains. Infused with a gracious passion for the land\, My Antonia embraces its uncommon subject - the hardscrabble lif e of the pioneer woman on the prairie - with poetic certitude\, rendering a deeply moving portrait of an entire community. Through Jim Burden's ende aring\, smitten voice\, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigran t life in the Nebraska heartland with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian broth ers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride\, Antonia's desperately h omesick father and self-indulgent mother\, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holdi ng the pastoral society's heart\, of course\, is the bewitching\, free-spi rited Antonia Shimerda."
