Produktbeschreibung

Headstrong and iron-willed, Alexandra Bergson is devoted to securing success for her family. This novel captures what it meant to be an immigrant in twentieth-century America.

At a time when most immigrant families were giving up, the father of a Swedish-American family passes away, leaving his daughter to look after their farm on the prairie. Determined to help her family prosper, Alexandra makes many sacrifices to enterprise the farm. Set against the beautiful Nebraskan scenery, Willa Cather's remarkable novel is an elegy for the pioneers that shaped modern-day America.

First published in 1913, O Pioneers! is the first novel in the Great Plains trilogy. A fantastic read, not to be missed by those with an interest in life on the American Great Plains. This edition features an excerpt from Willa Cather - Written For The Borzoi (1920) by H. L. Mencken.
