Giới thiệu tác giả
Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 – April 24, 1947) was an illustrious American writer renowned for her depictions of frontier life on the Great Plains. Her literary canvas encompassed novels, short stories, and essays, rich in the portrayal of American landscapes and characters molded by their environments and histories. Born in Virginia, her family relocated to Nebraska in her formative years—a move that profoundly influenced her literary voice and thematic focus. She studied at the University of Nebraska, initially aiming for a career in science, but soon turned to journalism and then fiction. Cather's writing style is noted for its clarity, vividness, and a poetic sensibility that captures the spirit of the lands she paints with her words. One of her notable works, 'Shadows on the Rock' (1931), transports the reader to late 17th-century Quebec, showcasing her skill in historical storytelling and her thematic concern with endurance amid hardship. Other significant contributions by Cather include 'O Pioneers!' (1913) and 'My Ántonia' (1918), both of which embody her signature themes of pioneering life and the immigrant experience in the Midwest. Cather was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for 'One of Ours'. Her prose remains a quintessential reflection of the transformative periods of American history and the resilience of its people. Her work has not only captivated generations but also contributed to the canon of American literature, with a style marked by economy, grace, and an incisive understanding of the human condition.
