Autorenportrait

Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 April 24, 1947) was an American writer hailed for her contributions to early 20th-century literature. Cather's work is renowned for its eloquence and its depiction of the American frontier experience. Born in Virginia, she was nine when her family moved to Nebraska, an event that significantly impacted her writing. She attended the University of Nebraska, initially planning to study science before turning to journalism and then to fiction.Her novel 'A Lost Lady' is one of Cather's many works that explore life on the Great Plains. Published in 1923, the book examines themes of change and decline as seen through the experiences of its characters, set against the backdrop of the American West's transformation. The novel is often considered a pivotal work between Cather's early Nebraska novels and her later, more complex character studies. Cather's literary style is marked by her use of vivid landscapes and complex, introspective characters, typically rooted in the pioneer life of the American heartland. Her narrative technique is frequently straightforward and her prose, meticulous and lyrical, often earns her a place among the foremost figures of American literary realism. Notably, Cather received the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for 'One of Ours'. Her work remains a touchstone for discussions on the American frontier's portrayal in fiction and the roles of women characters in literature.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
