nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the
water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the
colour of wine-stains...And there was so much motion in it; the whole
country seemed, somehow, to be running.'
My Antonia
(1918) depicts the pioneering period of European settlement on the
tall-grass prairie of the American midwest, with its beautiful yet
terrifying landscape, rich ethnic mix of immigrants and native-born
Americans, and communities who share life's joys and sorrows. Jim
Burden recounts his memories of Antonia Shimerda, whose
family settle in Nebraska from Bohemia. Together they share childhoods
spent in a new world. Jim leaves the prairie for college and a career
in the east, while Antonia devotes herself to her large family and
productive farm. Her story is that of the land itself, a moving
portrait of endurance and strength.
Described on publication as 'one of the best [novels] that any American has ever done', My Antonia
paradoxically took Cather out of the rank of provincial novelists as
the same time that it celebrated the provinces, and mythologized a
period of American history that had to be lost before its value could
be understood.
