Produktbeschreibung

The plot of the text is interesting and the language used to describe the setting in the novel is romantically beautiful. The first few chapters of the novel, the introduction, is absorbing and unique and will completely draw you in, and the beautifully written prose of the text is somewhat akin to a 19th century painting depicting the vastness of the open Midwestern backcountry. The education of the characters in the text makes a poignant case that symbolizes the friction encountered between the American West and East regarding the taming of the vast Midwestern Wilderness in the beginning of the early 20th century, a period in American history during which heavy industrialization was occurring in the Eastern seaboard and settled development of the Western plateaus appeared eminent. Overall, this is a fine novel, written in breathtakingly beautiful language that conveys to the reader all the magnificent, beauty of a Midwestern sunset. The text is easy to understand and you can enjoy the glimpse into the nervous and prospective mindset of the college students as they develop and evolve through the years of college life in the pursuit of a Master's Degree. Even though the story was written nearly a hundred years ago, the plots behind the story should challenge no one and the allusions and symbolism in the text should be easy to identify. This is a story with such tremendously superb command of language and vivid descriptions that, were it not for its weak and laborious flow of development, may as well have become an America Classic.
