My Antonia

My Antonia took Cather out of the rank of provincial novelists while at the same time celebrating the provinces. It depicts the pioneering period of European settlement in the American prairie, through the stories of Jim Burden and Antonia Shimerda, who is the embodiment of the pioneer spirit.

Antonia mea l-a scos pe Cather din randul romancierilor provinciali, celebrand in acelasi timp provinciile. Descrie perioada de pionierat a colonizarii europene in preria americana, prin intermediul povestilor lui Jim Burden si Antonia Shimerda, care este intruchiparea spiritului pionier.
