Ántonia Shimerda is the daughter of Bohemian immigrant parents struggling with the oceanic loneliness of life on the Nebraska prairie. Through the eyes of Jim Burden, her tutor and disappointed admirer, we follow Ántonia from farm to town as she survives hardships both natural and human, from poverty to a failed romance--and not only survives, but triumphs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWILLA CATHER\u003c\/b\u003e, author of twelve novels, including \u003ci\u003eO Pioneers!, My Ántonia\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDeath Comes for the Archbishop\u003c\/i\u003e, was born in Virginia in 1873 but grew up in Nebraska, where many of her novels are set.
