Sobre este artículo
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1941. Later printing. Inscribed to the great Jazz clarinetist and band leader, Artie Shaw, and his wife, novelist Kay Winsor, from Carol and William Saroyan. Inscribed in William Saroyan’s hand: “To Kay and Artie on Carol’s birthday - September 11, 1947. From Carol and Bill.” It was Artie Shaw who introduced his good friend William Saroyan to his future wife, Carol Marcus. Winsor is best remembered for her best-seller ‘Forever Amber.’ With Artie Shaw’s bookplate. Near fine copy with the barest hint of use in a very good plus dust jacket with a trace of dust soiling and some very small chips and tiny tears.
Sinopsis
My Ántonia (first published 1918) is considered one of the greatest novels by American writer Willa Cather. My Ántonia , pronounced with the accent on the first syllable of "Ántonia," is the final book of the "prairie trilogy" of novels by Cather, a list that also includes O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark . My Ántonia follows an orphaned boy, Jim, and a Bohemian immigrant child, Ántonia, upon their introduction to Nebraska as pioneers. The novel depicts the struggles and successes of the pair throughout their lifetime. The first edition of My Ántonia in 1918 opened with an introduction depicting a conversation on a train that was later cut from the novel in a revised 1926 edition by Houghton Mifflin
