Publisher: Modernista

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
When the young Swedish-descended Alexandra Bergson inherits her father's farm in Nebraska, she must transform the land from a wind-swept prairie landscape into a thriving enterprise. She dedicates herself completely to the land—at the cost of great sacrifices. O Pioneers! [1913] is Willa Cather's great masterpiece about American pioneers, where the land is as important a character as the people who cultivate it. WILLA CATHER [1873-1947] was an American author. After studying at the University of Nebraska, she worked as a teacher and journalist. Cather's novels often focus on settlers in the USA with a particular emphasis on female pioneers. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the novel One of Ours, and in 1943, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

ISBN: 0698151372
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
From an award-winning author, a novel about a Vietnamese American family’s ties to The Little House on the Prairie Jobless with a PhD, Lee Lien returns home to her Chicago suburb from grad school, only to find herself contending with issues she’s evaded since college. But when her brother disappears, he leaves behind an object from their mother’s Vietnam past that stirs up a forgotten childhood dream: a gold-leaf brooch, abandoned by an American reporter in Saigon back in 1965, that might be an heirloom belonging to Laura Ingalls Wilder. As Lee explores the tenuous facts of this connection, she unearths more than expected—a trail of clues and enticements that lead her from the dusty stacks of library archives to hilarious prairie life reenactments and ultimately to San Francisco, where her findings will transform strangers’ lives as well as her own. A dazzling literary mystery about the true origins of a time-tested classic, Pioneer Girl is also the deeply moving tale of a second-generation Vietnamese daughter, the parents she struggles to honor, the missing brother she is expected to bring home—even as her discoveries yield dramatic insights that will free her to live her own life to its full potential.

The Hall of Fantasy (From "Mosses from an Old Manse")
Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Hall of Fantasy' is a captivating short story from his collection 'Mosses from an Old Manse.' Set in the mid-19th century, the tale delves into the murky realms of the human psyche and explores themes of desire, guilt, and the consequences of chasing one's fantasies. Hawthorne's writing style is characterized by its rich symbolism, vivid imagery, and intricate character development, making 'The Hall of Fantasy' a thought-provoking and engaging read that invites readers to ponder the complexities of the human experience within a fantastical setting. As one of the key figures of American Romanticism, Hawthorne's work often delves into the dark corners of the human soul, blending realism with allegory to create a unique literary experience. Deeply influenced by his Puritan heritage and personal struggles, Hawthorne's exploration of human nature and morality in 'The Hall of Fantasy' offers a profound reflection on the consequences of unchecked desires and the power of the imagination. I highly recommend 'The Hall of Fantasy' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that combines psychological depth with elements of the supernatural.
