Beschreibung
The narrative is based on two historical figures of the late 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamy and Joseph Projectus Machebeuf, and rather than any one singular plot, is the stylized re-telling of their lives serving as Roman Catholic clergy in New Mexico. The narrative has frequent digressions, either in terms of stories related to the pair (including the story of the Our Lady of Guadalupe and the murder of an oppressive Spanish priest at Acoma Pueblo) or through their recollections. The narration is in third-person omniscient style. Cather includes many fictionalized accounts of actual historical figures, including Kit Carson, Manuel Antonio Chaves and Pope Gregory XVI.

In the prologue, Bishop Ferrand, an Irish bishop who works in the New World, solicits three cardinals at Rome to pick his candidate for the newly created diocese of New Mexico (which has recently passed into American hands). Bishop Ferrand is successful in getting his candidate, the Auvergnat Jean-Marie Latour, recommended by the cardinals over the recommendation of the Bishop of Durango (under whose territory New Mexico had previously fallen). One of the cardinals, a Spaniard named Allende, alludes to a painting by El Greco taken from his family by a missionary to the New World and lost, and asks for the new Bishop to search for it.

Über den Autor
Born in 1873 in Gore, Virginia, Willa Cather moved to Nebraska at age nine, an experience that shaped her literary voice. Surrounded by immigrant settlers, she found inspiration in their resilience and the stark prairie landscape. This early exposure to frontier life became the foundation of her celebrated [...] graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1895, Cather worked in journalism and teaching while honing her craft. Her time at McClure's Magazine in New York helped refine her storytelling and transition into fiction. During this period, she began exploring themes of pioneer life and the human spirit.Cather gained acclaim with O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918), which captured frontier struggles and triumphs. In 1923, she won the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, set during World War I.
