"The best thing I've done is My Antonia," recalled Willa Cather. "I feel I've made a contribution to American letters with that book."

Ántonia Shimerda returns to Black Hawk, Nebraska, to make a fresh start after eloping with a railway conductor following the tragic death of her father. Accustomed to living in a sod house and toiling alongside the men in the fields, she is unprepared for the lecherous reaction her lush sensuality provokes when she moves to the city. Despite betrayal and crushing opposition, Ántonia steadfastly pursues her quest for happiness–a moving struggle that mirrors the quiet drama of the American landscape.

读后感

这是一个关于开始的故事：一个国家的开始，两个人的开始。之所以可以让我们一读在读，是因为它告诉我们如何用勇气引导我们的生活。 它是关于不同的社会阶级。关于儿时的记忆（当然是“美国人”）。关于外来移民、伟大的土地、艰难的劳作。

"She was a rich mine of life, like the founders of early race."(240)

特别温情。

"She was a rich mine of life, like the founders of early race."(240)

It’s always sad to finish a good story like this one. Willa Cather successfully represents Virgil’s Georgics by depicting her homeland.

Whatever we had missed,we possessed together the precious,the incommunicable past.
