Reseña del editor:
"A truly remarkable book . . . Soaked through and through with atmosphere . . . From the riches of her imagination and sympathy Miss Cather has distilled a very rare piece of literature. It stands out, from the very resistance it opposes to classification." --The New York Times
"The most sensuous of writers, Willa Cather builds her imagined world as solidly as our five senses build the uiverse around us." --Rebecca West
"[Cather's] descriptions of the Indian mesa towns on the rock are as beautiful, as unjudging, as lucid, as her descriptions of the Bishop's cathedral. It is an art of 'making, ' of clear depiction--of separate objects, whose whole effect works slowly and mysteriously in the reader, and cannot be summed up. . . . Cather's composed acceptance of mystery is a major, and rare, artistic achievement." --A. S. Byatt
Willa Cather's best known novel is an epic--almost mythic--story of a single human life lived simply in the silence of the southwestern desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows--gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

Descripción Paper Back. Condición: New. In a letter written to The Commonweal about the origins of her novel Death Comes for the Archbishop, Willa Cather relates her enamoration with the Catholic Church of the Southwest. Its story moved her -- the old mission churches, even abandoned and in ruins, had a physical reality beyond mere description. As she explains, ''They are their own story, and it is foolish convention that we must have everything interpreted for us.there are other ways of telling what one feels.'' Cather found her ''way of telling'' some years later, centering her story around the lives of two priests sent to convert the Southwest in the twilight of America's great frontier. Episodic in nature, the novel's plot touches on a series of scenes -- introducing, but never dwelling too long on a substantial gallery of characters (from battered wives and disreputable clergy to the infamous Indian fighter Kit Carson). Cather's simple prose and meticulous eye for detail carries in it a sense of place, golden but not utopian. These priests live and die (hope we didn't ruin it for you) like each of us -- with the seemingly trivial incidents of their days constructing a life of faith beyond their understanding.
