“That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.”
Willa Cather’s My Ántonia is a classic of the American frontier. Set on the vast Nebraska plains, it follows Jim Burden’s memories of his childhood friendship with Ántonia Shimerda, a spirited immigrant whose resilience and warmth illuminate this unforgettable landscape. Through shifting fortunes, hardship, and hope, Ántonia’s journey embodies the strength and heart of pioneer life.
First published in 1918, My Ántonia blends exquisite storytelling and vivid characterization, providing a deeply felt portrait of community, heritage, and belonging. Immersed in the beauty and challenges of the prairie, Cather’s beloved novel stands as a moving tribute to enduring friendship and the American spirit.
