Über den Autor
Willa Cather (1873–1947) stands as an eminent figure in American literature, distinguished for her masterful storytelling and evocative portrayal of life on the Great Plains. Born in Winchester, Virginia, she moved with her family to Nebraska at the age of nine, a landscape that would deeply influence her writing. Cather's writing career spanned several decades, during which she published numerous short stories, essays, and novels, earning her recognition as one of the most significant American novelists of the early 20th century. Her literary style is marked by eloquent prose and richly-detailed settings that explore themes of frontier life, the immigrant experience, and the complex relationships between individuals and the communities they inhabit. One of her notable works includes 'My Mortal Enemy' (1926), which intricately examines the disillusionments in the life of its protagonist, exploring the themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness. Though less famous than other Cather classics like 'O Pioneers!' (1913) or 'My Ántonia' (1918), 'My Mortal Enemy' is nonetheless an illustration of her adept skill in character development and her keen psychological insight. Cather was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for her novel 'One of Ours', solidifying her legacy as a quintessential voice in American literature.
