Produktinformationen zu „One of Ours (ePub)“

'One of Ours' is Willa Cather's Pulitzer prize-winning story about life on the American frontier. The country teeters on the brink of World War I and Claude Wheeler finds himself a conflicted man. The son of a successful farmer, Wheeler is unhappy, despite a comfortable life and guaranteed fortune. A pious mother, demanding father and loveless marriage push the young idealist to a new and bloodier frontier. As America enters the war, Claude Wheeler is about to find what he's been searching for all his life. Willa Cather's acclaimed novel is an examination of the changing American frontier and the making of a soldier.-
