Project Gutenberg 2004-11-20 Public domain in the USA. 143 Cather, Willa 1873 1947 Cather, Willa Sibert Cather, Wilella Catherová, Willa Catherova, Willa One of Ours "One of Ours" by Willa Cather is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Claude Wheeler, a young man living in Nebraska during the early 1900s, as he navigates the pressures of his family's expectations and the allure of a broader world outside his rural existence. The opening of the book introduces us to Claude and his daily life on the family farm. He appears restless and frustrated with his environment and the people around him, especially with his father, who seems unconcerned about Claude's aspirations. The morning begins with excitement over a planned trip to the circus, but Claude's ambitions are quickly thwarted when he is tasked with hauling cowhides instead, a routine chore that highlights his feelings of entrapment. As Claude interacts with his family, including his sympathetic mother and aloof brother, readers gain insight into his discontent and longing for something greater than what his rural life offers. The opening chapters set the stage for a profound exploration of personal and social dynamics, as Claude seeks his identity amid the expectations placed on him.
