Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In 1883, the newspaper editor Nicolas Gonner publishes sixty-two Luxembourgish poems in his publishing house in Dubuque, Iowa. In this work, he presents three authors from his home country: Jean-Baptiste Nau, who lived only for a short time in Detroit before heading back to his family home in Tétange, in the south of Luxembourg; Nicolas Edouard Becker, who emigrated with his parents to Wisconsin when he was eleven years old and spent the rest of his life as a farmer, school teacher, writer and politician among his Luxembourg American compatriots; and finally Nicolas Gonner himself, best known for his history of the Luxembourgish emigration to North America, "The Luxembourgers in the New World". As stated in the first poem, Prairie Flowers was meant as a present from the authors to their friends back in Europe.
