With honesty and tenderness, Jim Burden recounts the life of his Ántonia—the free-spirited Bohemian girl who captured his heart and his imagination from their first encounter as young children.

My Ántonia was critically acclaimed when it was first published in 1918, and was often hailed as a masterpiece, helping build author Willa Cather's reputation as an important American writer in the early twentieth century. The novel starkly represents the lives of those who cultivated the land and society of the American West, and was the third and final book of Cather's "prairie trilogy" which also included the novels O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.
