Produktinformationen "Death Comes for the Archbishop"
Willa Cather's quiet and luminous novel of faith, endurance, and the shaping of a spiritual frontier in the American Southwest. First published in 1927, Death Comes for the Archbishop recounts the life and ministry of Bishop Jean Marie Latour, a French missionary sent to establish Catholic dioceses in the vast and unsettled territories of nineteenth-century New Mexico. Rather than following conventional dramatic arcs, the novel unfolds in episodes-encounters, journeys, conversations-through which the landscape itself becomes a shaping presence. Cather's prose is restrained and contemplative, attentive to light, distance, and silence. The novel examines vocation not as spectacle but as sustained labor: the slow building of institutions, the navigation of cultural boundaries, and the solitude that accompanies responsibility. Without sentimentality, Cather renders faith as discipline and endurance, set against a terrain both beautiful and austere. Often regarded as one of Cather's finest achievements, Death Comes for the Archbishop stands as a meditative work in which history, landscape, and spiritual commitment are held in deliberate and dignified balance.
