Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of late 19th century Nebraska, the narrative follows the struggles of the Shimerda family, immigrants facing the harsh realities of prairie life. The father, overwhelmed by the challenges, tragically takes his own life, leaving his family to navigate their new existence. Through the eyes of Jim Burden, an orphan living nearby, the story explores themes of hope, resilience, and the immigrant experience. Celebrated as Willa Cather's finest work, it captures both the dreams and hardships of pioneers seeking a better life in America.
