The first of Cathers renowned prairie novels, O Pioneers! established a new voice in American literatureturning the stories of ordinary Midwesterners and immigrants into authentic literary characters.O Pioneers! was Willa Cather's first great novel, and to many it remains her unchallenged masterpiece. No other work of fiction so faithfully conveys both the sharp physical realities and the mythic sweep of the transformation of the American frontierand the transformation of the people who settled it. Cather's heroine is Alexandra Bergson, who arrives on the windblasted prairie of Hanover, Nebraska, as a girl and grows up to make it a prosperous farm. But this archetypal success story is darkened by loss, and Alexandra's devotion to the land may come at the cost of love itself.At once a sophisticated pastoral and a prototype for later feminist novels, O Pioneers! is a work in which triumph is inextricably enmeshed with tragedy, a story of people who do not claim a land so much as they submit to it and, in the process, become greater than they were.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
