| Summary | "The Desert of Wheat" by Zane Grey is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically the year 1919. The narrative explores the struggles of a young farmer, Kurt Dorn, who is caught in the tumult of World War I, dealing with personal conflict, familial obligations, and the challenges posed by an emerging labor movement in the agrarian landscape of the Columbia Basin. The story delves into themes of love, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life on a wheat farm during a time of national crisis. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the expansive and austere landscapes of the northwestern wheat fields, which serve as the backdrop to Kurt Dorn’s life. Kurt is deeply troubled, struggling against the expectations of his aging father, who is resistant to embracing the realities of war and harbors a fierce German nationalism. As Kurt navigates his desire to enlist, he grapples with an impending financial crisis due to debt, the threat of labor unrest from the I.W.W. (Industrial Workers of the World), and the complex feelings he harbors for Lenore Anderson, the daughter of a wealthy rancher. Their delicate interactions set the stage for a deeper exploration of commitment to family and country amidst the chaos of societal upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
