Zustand: Good. Born in a small Colorado town, Thea Kronborg's aspirations to be a famed musician makes it difficult for her to fit in. With the reputation of being different and strange, Thea has a challenging time getting along with her siblings and peers, though her mother and Aunt are supportive of her dreams. When Thea's piano instructor is run out of town over a scandal, Thea takes over his business at age fifteen. She is also forced by her father to play the organ at their church because he believes this new devotion to a job would make her less pious. Despite her new jobs and outlet for her musical ability, Thea feels unsatisfied in Colorado, but when tragedy strikes, she finally gets an opportunity to chase her dreams. After the death of a local conductor that had been enamored by her, Thea inherits enough money to pursue a formal music education in Chicago. During her piano training, and with the help of some of her Chicago friends and mentors, Thea realizes that she has an impressive singing voice. After feeling inspired by a visit to the orchestra, Thea decides to pursue a career as an opera singer. With a new dream and drive, Thea struggles to achieve her goals without compromising her values and independence. Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark breaks the conventions of its time with the depiction of an independent woman protagonist with aspirations outside of the home. Cather also challenged the typical depiction of small-town country life by presenting realities such as the common uniformity and intolerance sometimes expressed within rural communities. The Song of the Lark remains to be a fascinating look into 19th century rural life, with an unadulterated view on the journey of an artist. This edition of The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather is accommodating to a contemporary audience with a modern font and stunning new cover design.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Increasingly regarded as a major 20th-century writer, Willa Cather celebrated American pioneers and the land they worked. Her strong female characters and the elegiac quality of her writing have combined to earn her high standing with critics and the public alike. According to Maxwell Geismar, she was "an aristocrat in an equalitarian order, an agrarian writer in an industrial order, a defender of the spiritual graces in the midst of an increasingly materialistic culture. Her talents are amply displayed in this collection, which features the touching title story about a young boy locally regarded as a delinquent and social misfit, and "A Wagner Matinée" (both revised by Cather for publication in Youth and the Bright Medusa, 1920); as well as "Lou, the Prophet" (1892), a haunting tale of failure, spiritual rebirth and legendary fame; "Eric Hermannson's Soul" (1900), an intriguing account of a man who, after years of dissolute living, is lured into the fold of a fanatical sect; and "The Enchanted Bluff" (1909), bittersweet recollections of life in a pioneer river town. Presented in this attractive, inexpensive edition, these timeless tales offer a provocative glimpse into the work of Willa Cather.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. From one of the most highly acclaimed novelists of the twentieth century: a truly remarkable book" (The New York Times), an epic story of a life lived simply in the silence of the southwestern desert. With a new introduction by Claire Messud. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows--gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.…
