Über das eBook

In a novel that combines "psychological realism" and "social history", the American writer Willa Cather presents to us in "One of Us" the story of "Claude Wheeler", a rural young man who is experiencing a deep internal conflict in the early twentieth century in "Nebraska." Claude, who belongs to a well-off family, feels "empty and lost," and dreams of a life more exciting and meaningful than the "monotonous life" he lives on the "family farm." We follow with "Claude" his journey in search of "himself and his identity," from "the religious college that does not satisfy his intellectual curiosity" to "the university that opens the doors of a new world for him," to "World War I," which he sees as "an opportunity to escape from the constraints of his narrow life." ". In this novel, Cather explores the "complex American psyche" of that period, highlighting "the tension between tradition and the desire for change," and between "the past and the future."
