My Antonia, first published 1918, is one of Willa Cather's greatest works. It is the last novel in the Prairie trilogy, preceded by O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.My Antonia tells the stories of several immigrant families who move out to rural Nebraska to start new lives in America, with a particular focus on a Bohemian family, the Shimerdas, whose eldest daughter is named Antonia. The book's narrator, Jim Burden, arrives in the fictional town of Black Hawk, Nebraska, on the same train as the Shimerdas, as he goes to live with his grandparents after his parents have died. Jim develops strong feelings for Antonia, something between a crush and a filial bond, and the reader views Antonia's life, including its attendant struggles and triumphs, through that lens.
Zwei Kinder fahren 1880 mit dem Zug nach Nebraska, Jim hat seine Eltern verloren und fährt zu seinen GroÃeltern und Antonia kommt mit ihrer Familie aus Böhmen um in Amerika einen Neuanfang zu wagen. Jim erzählt die Geschichte von Antonia. Vom Ãberleben unter einfachsten Bedingungen, vom Kampf der Menschen um ihre Existenz. Wunderbar erzählt.
