"No romantic novel ever written in America, by man or woman, is one half
so beautiful as My ntonia."H. L. Mencken
"My ntonia is packed with the feel of the country. A scant paragraph sets you
out on the plains, and the breath of the wind that billows the long grass never leaves your
face."Chicago Daily News
"In Antonia, Willa Cather portrays one of the great women of literature: strong, capable, and
honest. My ntonia is a book to read to children to show them what women can be,
or to readand remindyourself."Erica Bauermeister, 500 Great Books by Women
Widely recognized as Willa Cather's finest book and one of the outstanding novels of American
literature, My ntonia tells of the life of early American pioneers in Nebraska.
Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant
life in the Nebraska heartland with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's
most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride,
ntonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard.
Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited ntonia.
Infused with a gracious passion for the land, My ntonia is a deeply moving portrait of an
entire community and its way of life.
