My Ántonia (Special Illustrated and Annotated Edition): by Pulitzer Prize winner Willa Cather (The World of Willa Cather Series Book 1)

Welcome to Willa Cather's My Ántonia. In this classic edition of this novel, first published in 1918, we are proud to offer you the best Kindle edition of this literary classic featuring one of the most acclaimed classics of the 20th century.

My Ántonia is considered one of the best works of Pulitzer Prize winner Willa Cather. It is the final book of her "prairie trilogy" of novels, preceded by O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.

My Ántonia was enthusiastically received in 1918 when it was first published and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists. Today, it is considered as her first masterpiece. Cather was praised for bringing the American West to life and making it personally interesting.

It brought place forward almost as if it were one of the characters, while at the same time playing upon the universality of the emotions, which in turn promoted regional American literature as a valid part of mainstream literature. My Ántonia is clearly an elegy to those families who built new lives west of the Mississippi River and highlights the role of women pioneers in particular.

My Ántonia is a selection of The Big Read, The National Endowment for the Arts' community-wide reading program.

Enjoy, as you read this Mogul Classics edition of Willa Cather's My Ántonia.
