Beschreibung
The story follows the life of a young woman, Selina Peake De Jong, who decides to be a school teacher in farming country. During her stay on the Pool family farm, she encourages the young Roelf Pool to follow his interests, which include art. Upon his mother's death, Roelf runs away to France. Meanwhile, Selina marries a Dutch farmer named Pervus. They have a child together, Dirk, whom she nicknames "So Big," from the common question and answer "How big is baby? " "So-o-o-o big!" (Ferber, 2). Pervus becomes ill and dies, and Selina is forced to take over working on the farm to give Dirk a future. As Dirk gets older, he works as an architect but is more interested in making money than creating buildings and becomes a stock broker, much to his mother's disappointment. His love interest, Dallas O'Mara, an acclaimed artist, echoes this sentiment by trying to convince Dirk that there is more to life than money. Much later in life, Selina is visited by Roelf Pool, who has since become a famous sculptor. Dirk grows very distressed when, after visiting his mother's farm, he realizes that Dallas and Roelf love each other and he cannot compete with the artistically minded sculptor. In the end, Dirk comes to appreciate the wisdom of his mother, who always valued aesthetics and beauty even as she scraped out a living in a stern Dutch community. Ultimately, Dirk is left alone in his sumptuous apartment, saddened by his abandonment of artistic values.

Über den Autor
Edna Ferber was an American novelist, short story writer, and dramatist. Her novels include the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926; made into the celebrated 1927 musical), Cimarron (1930; adapted into the 1931 film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture), Giant (1952; made into the 1956 film of the same name), and Ice Palace (1958), which was also adapted into a film in 1960. He was born on 15 August 1885 and died on 16 April 1968. She helped adapt her short tale "Old Man Minick," published in 1922, into a play (Minick), which was then turned to film three times: in 1925 as the silent film Welcome Home, in 1932 as The Expert, and in 1939 as No Place to Go. Ferber was born on August 15, 1885, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Jacob Charles Ferber, a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper, and his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born wife, Julia (Neumann) Ferber, of German Jewish origin. The Ferbers had relocated to Kalamazoo from Chicago, Illinois, to operate a dry goods company, and her older sister Fannie was born there three years prior. Ferber's father was not a businessman, and the family moved frequently while he was growing up.
