Willa Cather
The Professor's House ;With an Excerpt by H. L. Mencken Paperback Book
How do we continue with life when we no longer have anything to look forward to? Willa Cather ponders the timeold question in this short, intense novel. Professor Godfrey St. Peter leads a successful life. He has a wonderful wife, his two daughters recently married, and he was just awarded an esteemed literary prize. But when its time for his hard work to pay off and the Professors family is ready to move into their grand new home, he finds he doesnt want to. He doesnt want to leave his old house, his comforting study, or his happy memories. Soon he begins to question his reasons for being and wonders whether he has anything left to live for. Willa Cathers quietly dark novel is split into three sections The Family, Tom Outlands Story, and The Professor. In the first section, Cather explores the cynical Professors relationships with his family, and it soon becomes evident that a deep grief hangs over them all. A favourite student of the Professors and his eldest daughters fiance, Tom Outland, passed away during World War I, and the second section explores his remarkable life through the Professors reminiscing mind. The final section rejoins the Professor as he considers the next stages of his life and his inevitable death. Originally published in 1925, The Professors House is now in a brand new edition, featuring an introductory essay by H. L. Mencken. Willa Cather fans should not miss this American literary classic.
