One of America’s greatest women writers, Willa Cather established her talent and her reputation with this extraordinary novel—the first of her books set on the Nebraska frontier. A tale of the prairie land encountered by America’s Swedish, Czech, Bohemian, and French immigrants, as well as a story of how the land challenged them, changed them, and, in some cases, defeated them, Cather’s novel is a uniquely American epic.
Alexandra Bergson, a young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father’s farm and must transform it from raw prairie into a prosperous enterprise, is the first of Cather’s great heroines—all of them women of strong will and an even stronger desire to overcome adversity and succeed. But the wild land itself is an equally important character in Cather’s books, and her descriptions of it are so evocative, lush, and moving that they provoked writer Rebecca West to say of her: “The most sensuous of writers, Willa Cather builds her imagined world almost as solidly as our five senses build the universe around us.”
Willa Cather, perhaps more than any other American writer, was able to re-create the real drama of the pioneers, capturing for later generations a time, a place, and a spirit that has become part of our national heritage.

評分首先,當代讀者應該明白 這應該是一本以“父老鄉親”為閱讀對象的小說 所以這就決定瞭它情感上務必是通俗甚至有些煽情 在設計上也很簡單純粹 小說以半介入的程度描摹瞭一群準美國移民的生活圖景和他們居住生態的變遷 但是拓荒的經過似乎隻是一帶而過 拓荒是怎樣的篳路藍縷也隻...

We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it–for a little while.把Alexandra放在最後一章太讓人心碎瞭
評分There is no pain for friends married, not like those young ones who are passionate about each other. She loves the land and does what she is good at. She is not sensitive for human feelings, such thing as love between a boy and a girl. She is steady, calm, like a tree deeply rooted in this land, nutured by it and spend the life with it. And she knows the land will go on without her. Those who loves the land just stay for a span of life and it doesn't wholly belong to any one. I appreciate her, for she is always so held together in face of a world full of hostile, prejudiced voices. And she is humane enough to feel lonely and have that dream of lifted by a strong man and leave all the tiredness and loneliness down. She always comes to a clear realization after the horrible things happen, wearing those crystallized eyes and that serene smile, knowing the true meaning of love and life for herself.
評分人物間的感情發展果然不齣我所料,是讓我一點難過又有點開心的故事。想知道更多關於Ivar的事情啊。
評分loved it just as i loved the movie
