“A truly remarkable book . . . Soaked through and through with atmosphere . . . From the riches of her imagination and sympathy Miss Cather has distilled a very rare piece of literature. It stands out, from the very resistance it opposes to classification.” --The New York Times
"The most sensuous of writers, Willa Cather builds her imagined world as solidly as our five senses build the uiverse around us.” —Rebecca West
“[Cather’s] descriptions of the Indian mesa towns on the rock are as beautiful, as unjudging, as lucid, as her descriptions of the Bishop’s cathedral. It is an art of ‘making,’ of clear depiction—of separate objects, whose whole effect works slowly and mysteriously in the reader, and cannot be summed up. . . . Cather’s composed acceptance of mystery is a major, and rare, artistic achievement.” —A. S. Byatt
WILLA CATHER, author of twelve novels, including O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, and Death Comes for the Archbishop, was born in Virginia in 1873 but grew up in Nebraska, where many of her novels are set. She died in 1947 in New York City.

Descrizione libro Paper Back. Condizione: New. In a letter written to The Commonweal about the origins of her novel Death Comes for the Archbishop, Willa Cather relates her enamoration with the Catholic Church of the Southwest. Its story moved her -- the old mission churches, even abandoned and in ruins, had a physical reality beyond mere description. As she explains, ''They are their own story, and it is foolish convention that we must have everything interpreted for us.there are other ways of telling what one feels.'' Cather found her ''way of telling'' some years later, centering her story around the lives of two priests sent to convert the Southwest in the twilight of America's great frontier. Episodic in nature, the novel's plot touches on a series of scenes -- introducing, but never dwelling too long on a substantial gallery of characters (from battered wives and disreputable clergy to the infamous Indian fighter Kit Carson). Cather's simple prose and meticulous eye for detail carries in it a sense of place, golden but not utopian. These priests live and die (hope we didn't ruin it for you) like each of us -- with the seemingly trivial incidents of their days constructing a life of faith beyond their understanding.
