My Ántonia
Where does the resilient vitality to take root and cultivate life in barren land come from?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first opened this book, the wind sweeping across the vast prairies of Nebraska seemed to brush against my face. Through the life of the pioneer Ántonia, Cather captures the sublime beauty a human being shapes in communion with the earth. Her smile, which never loses its life force even amid countless hardships, offers a strange comfort and courage. Reading this novel, where the nostalgia of the past and the wonder of nature are woven in delicate prose, you come to know deeply that the humblest scene of life is the greatest of arts.
"There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made."Willa Cather, My Ántonia
"그곳에는 오직 대지와 하늘뿐, 다른 어떤 것도 없었다."
