"The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman." . . . "The land belongs to the future . . . that's the way it seems to me. . . .

And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it -- for a little while." -- Willa Cather, "O Pioneers " Willa Cather -- born in Back Creek, Virginia, in 1873 -- was nine when she and her family moved to Red Cloud, Nebraska. She grew up on the plains -- and the plains grew into her as she did. This 1913 novel -- the story of an immigrant family's struggle to save their Nebraska farm -- grew out of her, and, of course, through her: there's a reason that this -- Cather's second novel -- is the famous book it has become. Cather attended the University of Nebraska, and worked six years on the editorial staff at "McClure's" Magazine in New York City; she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for "One of Ours."

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...
