About this listen

My Ántonia captures the poignant journeys of immigrant families who venture into the heart of rural Nebraska in search of a new beginning. At the center of this narrative is the Bohemian Shimerda family, particularly their spirited eldest daughter, Ántonia. The story unfolds through the eyes of Jim Burden, who arrives in the fictional town of Black Hawk, Nebraska, on the same train as the Shimerdas, seeking solace with his grandparents after the loss of his parents. As Jim navigates his feelings for Ántonia—an intricate blend of admiration and familial affection—the reader is drawn into her life, filled with both challenges and triumphs, revealing the resilience of the human spirit.
