Publisher Description
My Ántonia is considered one of the greatest novels by American writer Willa Cather. It is the final book of the "prairie trilogy" of novels by Cather that also includes O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.
My Ántonia tells the stories of several immigrant families who move out to rural Nebraska to start new lives in America, with a particular focus on a Bohemian family, the Shimerdas, whose eldest daughter is named Ántonia. The book's narrator, Jim Burden, arrives in the fictional town of Black Hawk, Nebraska, on the same train as the Shimerdas, as he travels to live with his grandparents after his parents have died. Jim develops strong feelings for Ántonia, something between a crush and a filial bond, and we view Ántonia's life, including its struggles and triumphs, through his eyes.
Customer Reviews
Time saver at a good price
The mans voice is easy to listen to and understand especially when listening at double time. This is the least expensive audiobook for "My Antonia". My only problem is that when listening at full volume you can hear what I assume is someone else recording another book in a near by room. It isn't always noticeable and didn't particularly bother me, but it is present.
