The hundreds collected here range from witty reports of life as a teenager in Red Cloud in the 1880s through her college years at the University of Nebraska, her time as a journalist in Pittsburgh and New York, and her growing eminence as a novelist. They describe her many travels and record her last years, when the loss of loved ones and the disasters of World War II brought her near to despair. Above all, they reveal her passionate interest in people, literature, and the arts.

Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Willa Cather was a Pulitzer Prize winning American author who is best known for her novels O Pioneers and My Antonia. Her vivid accounts of the experiences of immigrants as they survived the daily struggles of life on the Great Plains of the United States are recognized throughout the world. A prolific writer, Cather's body of work includes twelve novels and several volumes of poetry, all of which won a great deal of acclaim by literary critics and her peers. Some say that her novel A Lost Lady greatly influenced F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Cathers strong personality as well as her great talent makes her personal life story as intriguing as her work. Cather succeeded as a writer in a time when women were rarely seen working outside the home, and few women, if any, were respected for their intellects. Cather drew inspiration for her writing from the people she met throughout her childhood in Nebraska. Her richly drawn characters were inspired by the hard-working immigrants she knew in her early days. Cathers insights into the words of the real people eking out their existence on the plains of Nebraska have inspired American readers for decades. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Cather was able to support herself with her work as a writer during the years she was in school, between 1893 and 1895. Her works of non-fiction from this period made up three volumes. After graduation, she was given the job of organizing and managing Home Monthly magazine in Pittsburg, Nebraska. While the magazine itself was not outstanding, the fact that Cather was personally responsible for much of its contents certainly is. When she was not working on Home Monthly, she wrote theater reviews for the Pittsburg Daily Leader and contributed to the Nebraska State Journal. While still in Pittsburg, Cather became friends with the socialite Isabelle McClung, who introduced her to such illustrious families as the Carnegies and the Fricks. McClung encouraged Cather's writing, and the two of them took a trip to Europe with another writer, Dorothy Canfield. This trip had a great deal of influence on Cather's early writings. In addition to her works of prose, Cather also wrote poetry. Her first book of poems, April Twilights, was published in 1903. It received favorable reviews, and Catherswriting soon caught the attention of publisher S.S. McClure. McClure was also responsible for bringing attention to writer Upton Sinclair and Dr. Maria Montessori... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Synopsis The Professor's House by : Willa Cather
Download or read book The Professor's House written by Willa Cather and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An inquiry into the nature of civilization, of man’s impulse to civilize and create,” from the beloved author of O Pioneers! (The New Criterion). After completing his masterwork and garnering a great deal of money for it, history professor Godfrey St. Paul has purchased a new house. But when the time comes to move, he cannot bring himself to do so. Sitting in his comfortable study in his current house near the shore of Lake Michigan—and on the verge of a midlife crisis—he reflects on his past. At fifty-two, he has dedicated himself to his work, his garden, and his wife and two daughters, but despite all of his successes, he is unhappy with the course of his future. He retreats into his memories—his career and fond recollections of Tom Outland, his most outstanding student and once his son-in-law-to-be, who was lost in the Great War. He also thinks of his present and the daunting mystery of what lies ahead. And soon the introspection takes over . . . “The Professor’s House is Cather’s masterpiece. It is almost perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original.” —A. S. Byatt, The Guardian

Download or read book My Ántonia written by Willa Cather and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packaged in handsome, affordable trade editions, Clydesdale Classics is a new series of essential literary works. It features literary phenomena with influence and themes so great that, after their publication, they changed literature forever. From the musings of literary geniuses like Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to the striking personal narrative of Solomon Northup in Twelve Years a Slave, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our history through the words of the exceptional few. My Ántonia, a novel by Willa Cather, tells the story of friendship between Ántonia Shimerda—a young woman who moves to the Midwestern prairie with her bohemian family—and Jim Burden, an orphaned child who moves from Virginia to the Midwest to be with his grandparents. The narrative is majorly told from the perspective of Burden, almost peripherally, as a memoir of his childhood in Nebraska. It is here where he meets Ántonia and her family, his new neighbors. Eager to learn, Jim teaches Ántonia English and they become fast friends. When Ántonia’s father tragically commits suicide, Ántonia discontinues her lessons with Jim and begins to work on the farm where she and Jim share countless memorable experiences together. After being accepted into Lincoln University, Jim moves away. Meanwhile, Ántonia copes with being abandoned by her fiancée and bearing an illegitimate child. When Jim graduates he returns to Nebraska and visits her before he starts law school, promising her that he’d visit again very soon. Despite keeping in touch, it is not until twenty years after this meeting that they meet again. Although in very different places in their lives, they pick up where they left off—the bond they formed as children remaining completely intact. A classic story by renowned American author Willa Cather, My Ántonia is a timeless tale of a lifelong friendship.
