Résumé

Résumé : The story follows the life of Bartley Alexander, a successful and ambitious engineer who is at the peak of his career. He is married to Winifred, a woman from a prominent Boston family. Bartley's career takes him around the world, working on various engineering projects, and he becomes highly regarded in his field. However, as Bartley's career flourishes, his marriage begins to suffer. He becomes increasingly distant from Winifred and finds himself drawn to Hilda Burgoyne, a talented and passionate actress he meets during one of his business trips. Bartley is torn between his commitment to his wife and his growing feelings for Hilda. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, duty, and the consequences of one's choices. Bartley must confront the conflicts between his personal desires and societal expectations, ultimately leading to a dramatic and life-altering decision.
Biographie : Willa Cather (1873 -1947) was an American writer who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918). In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I. Despite this critical opposition to her work, Cather remained a popular writer whose novels and short story collections continued to sell well. In 1931 Shadows on the Rock was the most widely read novel in the US, and Lucy Gayheart became a bestseller in 1935. Although Cather began her writing career as a journalist, she made a distinction between journalism, which she saw as being primarily informative, and literature, which she saw as an art form. Cather's work is often marked by its nostalgic tone, her subject matter and themes drawn from memories of her early years on the American plains.
