“No romantic novel ever written in America . . . is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” —H. L. Mencken

Widely recognized as Willa Cather’s greatest novel, My Ántonia is a soulful and rich portrait of a pioneer woman’s simple yet heroic life. The spirited daughter of Bohemian immigrants, Ántonia must adapt to a hard existence on the desolate prairies of the Midwest. Enduring childhood poverty, teenage seduction, and family tragedy, she eventually becomes a wife and mother on a Nebraska farm. A fictional record of how women helped forge the communities that formed a nation, My Ántonia is also a hauntingly eloquent celebration of the strength, courage, and spirit of America’s early pioneers.

    Jim, the fictional teller of this story by Willa Cather, is not surprised at looking at Antonia's deeds in early Nebraska as any modern reader might be today.

    This text underlines the importance of the female factor in the building of the United States. In a totally spontaneous way, Antonia (and Willa Cather with her) make up for the frailty of some of their men and contribute to create a fairer New World (...and should I add: New Word?)
