Always interesting and worthwhile to reread a book 40 years later—helps you appreciate how much bigger your own world has become, but also how much less intense.

I didn’t remember the beauty of Cather’s landscape descriptions. (Have I just forgotten? Or did I skim that part in my 15-year-old reading?)

Also, what stayed with me from my teenage reading was a romantic feeling that Antonia came to a sad ending. Reading it now, It feels just the opposite. (

I know I never read this before; but both the characters and phrasing feel so familiar. A sad, but beautiful story. (

Cather has crept onto my devour list with her stellar prose, portraits, and settings. Knowing that she beautified her friend Jim's memoir of his existence among "hired girls" on Nebraska's endless plains at the end of the 19th century gives it even more power.

---

The cornfields were far apart in those times, with miles of wild grazing land between. It took a clear, meditative eye like grandfather's to foresee that they would enlarge and multiply until they would be, not the Shimerdas' cornfields, or Mr. Bushy's, but the world's cornfields; that their yield would be one of the great economic facts, like the wheat crop of Russia, which underlie all the activities of men, in peace or war.

Første ord

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.

I first heard of Ántonia on what seemed to me an interminable journey across the great midland plain of North America. I was ten years old then; I had lost both my father and mother within a year, and my Virginia relatives were sending me out to my grandparents, who lived in Nebraska. I traveled in the care of a mountain boy, Jake Marpole, one of the “hands” on my father’s old farm under the Blue Ridge, who was now going West to work for my grandfather. Jake’s experience of the world was not much wider than mine. He had never been in a railway train until the morning when we set out together to try our fortunes in a new world.

"When a writer begins to work with his own material," said Willa Cather, in a retrospective preface to her first novel, Alexander's Bridge, "he has less and less choice about the moulding of it. (Preface)

He placed this book in my grandmother's hands, looked at her entreatingly, and said, with an earnestness which I shall never forget, "Te-e-ach, te-e-ach my Ántonia!"

Because he talked so little, his words had a peculiar force; they were not worn dull from constant use.

Lena was Pussy so often that she finally said she wouldn't play any more.
