{"product_id":"2940015698527","title":"One of Ours (THE GREAT CLASSICS LIBRARY)","description":"Cather won the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for this novel, which tells the story of Claude Wheeler, a Nebraska native around the turn of the 20th century. The son of a successful Midwestern farmer and an intensely pious mother, he is guaranteed a comfortable livelihood. Nevertheless, Wheeler views himself as a victim of his father's success and his own inexplicable malaise.\u003cbr\u003eThe novel is divided thematically into two parts: the first half in Nebraska, where Claude Wheeler struggles to find his life's purpose and is left ultimately disappointed; and in France, where his pursuit of purpose is vindicated. A romantic unfulfilled by marriage and an idealist without an ideal to cling to, Wheeler fulfills his romantic idealism on the brutal battlefields of 1918 France.\u003cbr\u003eOne of Ours is thus a portrait of a peculiarly American personality: it is the story of a young man born after the American frontier has vanished, yet whose quintessentially American restlessness seeks redemption on a frontier far bloodier and more distant than that which his forefathers had already tamed","brand":"Revenant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153074569456,"sku":"2940015698527","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015698527_p0.jpg?v=1763622927","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015698527","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
