Death Comes for the Archbishop, Paperback
Descriere
Willa Cather's best known novel is an epic--almost mythic--story of a single human life lived simply in the silence of the southwestern desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows--gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.
Despre autor
Willa Cather a fost o scriitoare americană. Willa s-a mutat la o vârstă fragedă în Nebraska, la țară. A dorit să devină doctor, dar a abandonat medicina pentru studiul limbilor clasice și a început să scrie. Visul său a fost să devină un scriitor american care să scrie despre omul simplu, care plantează porumb și taie lemne.
