Description: Best known for the distinctive portraits of the people and land of the American West in her prairie novels Willa Cather is one of the greatest American writers of this century. The fourteen short stories in this richly diverse collection along with an exemplary introduction by author Cynthia Griffin Wolff allow for a more complex view of Cather. As a writer she was intrigued by nature's ruthlessness and mankind's limitless potential for brutality and had a passion for the beauty of art. Ranging from the simplicity of Cather's first published story " Peter" (1892) to the extraordinary eroticism of " Coming Aphrodite!" (1920) this Twentieth - Century Classics collection is an engaging and triumphant testament to the genius of an American literary icon. For more than seventy years Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English - speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
