あらすじ

My Ántonia by Willa Cather, published in 1918, centers on Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda, who arrive as children on the Nebraska frontier. Both come from immigrant backgrounds and grow up amid the rigors of pioneer life, where hardship and limited comforts shape their daily world. As they form a close relationship, they share experiences that deepen their understanding of the land and of one another. Over time, their lives take different directions, with Jim moving toward education and Ántonia dealing with the demands of family responsibilities and difficult work. The novel reflects on memory, survival, and the lasting impact of life in the American West.
