MY ANTONIA BY WILLA CATHER IN SOUTH AFRICA

 My Antonia is one man's attempt to commit to paper the beautiful, wild-eyed immigrant girl who has haunted him all his life.  For Jim Burden, Antonia Shimerdas symbolises all the extraordinary contradictions of the American west: its harshness and untamed beauty, its blazing summers and bitter winters, its endless possibilities and vast unconquerable horizons.  This is his attempt to immortalize her, to possess her as he never could in life. Widely regarded as Willa Cather's finest novel, My Antonia is a moving and powerful description of love and a timeless portrait of a land and its people. Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover shows some signs of wear. 371 pages.
