Mister D Reads: Neighbour Rosicky by Willa Cather

For GFD.
In “Neighbour Rosicky” Cather portrays a realistic image of the immigration and settlement process, through Anton Rosicky's story. She specifically represents the Czech immigrant ideals which are independence, hard work, family unity, and freedom.
Willa Cather migrated in 1883 with her family to the plains of Nebraska. This move gave her firsthand experience in order to write stories of the immigrant experience. Clifton Fadiman, in a review of Cather's work, states “no one has better commemorated the virtues of the Bohemian and Scandinavian immigrants whose enterprise and heroism won an empire.”
Other works by Willa Cather include: Alexander's Bridge, O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My Ántonia, One of Ours, A Lost Lady, The Professor's House, My Mortal Enemy, Death Comes for the Archbishop, Shadows on the Rock, Lucy Gayheart, and Sapphira and the Slave Girl.

I am taking AML right now and having a hard time translating the reading materials, since English is my second language. Listening to this and following the textbook in front of me is helping a little bit. Writing papers is another challenge 🤦‍♀️
Never been a bookworm myself but after this class, I might have to keep on listening on your channel 👍🏼
