Résumé

Résumé : "O Pioneers!" is a novel written by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1913. This novel is part of Cather's Great Plains Trilogy and is considered one of her most celebrated works. The story is set on the American frontier in Nebraska and follows the life of Alexandra Bergson, a strong and determined woman who inherits her family's farm and takes on the challenges of farming and land management. The novel explores themes of hard work, perseverance, and the pioneering spirit of the early settlers in the Great Plains. Willa Cather's "O Pioneers!" is known for its vivid depiction of the landscape and the people who settled the American West. It is a tribute to the strength and resilience of the pioneers who sought to make a new life in the challenging frontier, and it remains a classic work of American literature.
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.
