Presenting "The Essential Willa Cather: O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My �ntonia, and One of Ours with an Introduction by Nicholas Tamblyn, and Illustrations by Katherine Eglund." This collection is part of The Essential Series by Golding Books.Much of Willa Cather's writing evokes nostalgic memories of growing up on the American plains. Her stories describe the smallness of people in the landscape but their largeness to each other--particularly through the force of the past and memory--and for those characters who have come to settle from far away are the inescapable feelings of homesickness and of forging their way in a new and not yet fully defined world. The moments and above all the feelings that Cather's novels capture stay with you long after you have read them.Other books in THE ESSENTIAL SERIES by Golding Books include:"The Complete Confucius" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBFGCP2 ("The Analects," "The Doctrine of the Mean," and "The Great Learning")"The Essential Classics for Leaders" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07123JZFP ("Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, and "The Prince" by Niccol� Machiavelli)"The Essential Tales of Horror" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714JKLJC ("Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, and "Dracula" by Bram Stoker)"The Essential Tales of Wonder" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JS731Q ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L.

Here in one authoritative volume are Willa Cather's essential masterpieces: the story collection The Troll Garden, along with the beloved novels O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. "Let your fiction grow out of the land beneath your feet." Cather's remark describes her own powerfully imaginative recreation of the Nebraska frontier of her youth. The vast Great Plains, where the earth has only recently come beneath the plow and the sky is huge and open, mirrors the uniquely American ethic of her characters: their heroic aspirations and stoicism, their passion for creativity, their rebelliousness of spirit.

'The best thing I've done is My Antonia,' recalled Willa Cather. 'I feel I've made a contribution to American letters with that book.' Set against the vast Nebraska prairie, Cather's elegiac novel features one of the most winning heroines in American fiction—Antonia Shimerda—a young woman whose strength and passion epitomize the triumphant vitality of this country's pioneers. 'If, as is often said, every novelist is born to write one thing, then the one thing that Willa Cather was born to write was first fully realized in My Antonia,' observed Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner. 'The prose is. . .flexible, evocative; the structure at once free and intricately articulated; the characters stretch into symbolic suggestiveness as naturally as trees cast shadows in the long light of a prairie evening; the theme is the fully exposed, complexly understood theme of the American orphan or exile, struggling to find a place between an Old World left behind and a New World not yet created. . . . No writer ever posed that essential aspect of the American experience more warmly, with more nostalgic lyricism, or with a surer understanding of what it means.'

This volume contains four great works (O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My Ántonia, and One of Ours) by the author who created the first autonomous and successful women’s heroes in American literature. Willa Cather is one of America’s most treasured writers. Her childhood in the woodlands of Virginia and on the prairies of Nebraska formed the inspiration for many of her novels, and her devotion to education provided the basis for her lifetime of achievement. Many critics have stated that Cather might have won a Nobel Prize had she not been a woman in a time of gender inequality. “The time will come when she’ll be ranked above Hemingway.”—Leon Edel “The thing about Willa Cather’s landscape and figures is that not only were they born alive but remain so after six decades.” —Guardian The Song of the Lark (1915): “A story of something better than suggestiveness and charm—a thing finished, sound, and noble.” —The Nation My Ántonia (1918): “No romantic novel ever written in America . . . is half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” —H. L. Mencken Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

About O Pioneers Set on the Nebraska prairie where Willa Cather (1873-1947) grew up, this powerful early novel tells the story of the young Alexandra Bergson, whose dying father leaves her in charge of the family and of the lands they have struggled to farm. In Alexandra's long flight to survive and succeed, O Pioneers! relates an important chapter in the history of the American frontier. Evoking the harsh grandeur of the prairie, this landmark of American fiction unfurls a saga of love, greed, murder, failed dreams, and hard-won triumph. In the fateful interaction of her characters, Willa Cather compares with keen insight the experiences of Swedish, French, and Bohemian immigrants in the United States. And in her absorbing narrative, she displays the virtuoso storytelling skills that have made her one of the most admired masters of the American novel.

Willa Cather was an American writer known for her novels of life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I. In 2023, a statue of Willa Cather was placed in Statuary Hall in the US Capitol, one of the statues from the State of Nebraska. Cather achieved recognition as a novelist of the frontier and pioneer experience. She wrote of the spirit of those settlers moving into the western states, many of them European immigrants in the nineteenth century. Common themes in her work include nostalgia and exile. A sense of place is an essential element in Cather's fiction; physical landscapes and domestic spaces are for Cather's dynamic presence, against which her characters struggle to find community. Willa Cather's novel "One of Ours," published in 1922, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Novel in 1923. It follows the life of Claude Wheeler, who was born in Nebraska in the early decades of the 20th century and lived there for several years. Because his father was a prosperous farmer and his mother was an extremely devout Christian, he will always have a secure way to make a living. However, Wheeler sees himself as a victim of both his father's success and his unexplainable malaise. He blames both on himself. Cather's cousin Grosvenor (G.P. Cather) was born and raised on the farm that adjoined her own family, and in the character of Claude, Cather combined aspects of her personality with those of Grosvenor's.

When the Bergson family leave their home in Sweden to travel to the United States in search of a better life, they, like many immigrants, are awed by the beautiful harshness of their new life in Nebraska. When their father, John Bergson, grows sick and dies, he leaves the farm in the hands of his eldest daughter Alexandra Bergson. Resourceful and determined, Alexandra devotes her life to her family's farm, determined to prosper even as her neighbors are overwhelmed by the unremitting demands of pioneer life. But when she falls in love with her childhood friend, Carl Linstrum, Alexandra must choose between her duty to the land, and to her heart. A spirited celebration of the immigrants who have shaped the United States, O Pioneers! is a masterpiece by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
