Book excerpt: This collection of Willa Cather stories& ... her first book of fiction and the capstone of her early career& ... is as relevant today as at the time of its initial publication. As different and individually distinguished as the seven stories may be, they share as their subject the role and status of the artist in American society. The passions, ambitions, and pretensions, the cant and the pathos of the art world, artists, pseudo-artists, aficionados, and dilettantes& ... all are amply represented here in the midst of their foibles, grand affairs, and failures, drawn with great style and subtlety by a writer gathering her formidable powers. With the psychological precision of her early master Henry James and the practical wisdom and wit of her contemporary Edith Wharton, Cather shows us innocents seduced, sophisticates undone, marriages sundered, idealism compromised, and the rare soul uplifted by art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With seven short stories, The Troll Garden is a comprehensive exploration of American artists, and the trials they face. In Flavia and Her Artists, a young woman named Imogen goes to visit her friend Flavia, who is a patron of artists. Joining Flavia’s group of artists, Imogen becomes immersed in the drama and gossip of the group. As Imogen witnesses the animosity of the group steadily grow, she realizes that it stems from Flavia’s own insecurities and arrogance. The Sculptor’s Funeral depicts the funeral of a successful sculptor, Harvey Marrick. When his body is returned to his hometown for his burial, there is a mix of emotions from his family and old acquaintances. Only Jim Lavid, Harvey’s old friend, truly mourns the death. However, Jim must wrestle with both grief and jealousy when he considers that Harvey was able to leave their small town, something Jim himself never could. With a similar tone, A Death in the Desert follows a man as he wrestles with his identity. Sharing a strong physical resemblance to his prodigy brother, Everett Hilgarde feels haunted by his brother’s shadow, robbing him of his sense of self. As the last story in the collection, Paul’s Case creates an echo that stays in the reader’s mind long after the tale is finished. When Paul, a young boy who has trouble fitting in, steals money from his father, he decides to run away to New York, pretending to be rich and fulfilling the life he’d always wanted. The Troll Garden by Willa Cather explores the melancholy tales of tortured artists without dwelling on the sorrow, instead focusing on the relatable instances and decisions that lead to such predicaments. Though first published one-hundred and fifteen years ago in 1905, Cather explores ever-present issues of identity, failure, and dreams that have remained to be relevant to a current audience. As her debut work of fiction, The Troll Garden marks a capstone in Willa Cather’s prolific career. Now presented in an easy-to-read font and with a striking new cover design, this edition of Willa Cather’s The Troll Garden is modern and relevant to a contemporary audience.

Book excerpt: It was a great night at the Lone Star schoolhouse-a night when the Spirit was present withpower and when God was very near to man. So it seemed to Asa Skinner, servant of God and FreeGospeller. The schoolhouse was crowded with the saved and sanctified, robust men and women, trembling and quailing before the power of some mysterious psychic force. Here and there amongthis cowering, sweating multitude crouched some poor wretch who had felt the pangs of anawakened conscience, but had not yet experienced that complete divestment of reason, that frenzyborn of a convulsion of the mind, which, in the parlance of the Free Gospellers, is termed "theLight." On the floor before the mourners' bench lay the unconscious figure of a man in whomoutraged nature had sought her last resort. This "trance" state is the highest evidence of graceamong the Free Gospellers, and indicates a close walking with God.Before the desk stood Asa Skinner, shouting of the mercy and vengeance of God, and in his eyesshone a terrible earnestness, an almost prophetic flame. Asa was a converted train gambler who usedto run between Omaha and Denver. He was a man made for the extremes of life; from the mostdebauched of men he had become the most ascetic. His was a bestial face, a face that bore the stampof Nature's eternal injustice. The forehead was low, projecting over the eyes, and the sandy hair wasplastered down over it and then brushed back at an abrupt right angle. The chin was heavy, thenostrils were low and wide, and the lower lip hung loosely except in his moments of spasmodicearnestness, when it shut like a steel trap. Yet about those coarse features there were deep, ruggedfurrows, the scars of many a hand-to-hand struggle with the weakness of the flesh, and about thatdrooping lip were sharp, strenuous lines that had conquered it and taught it to pray. Over thoseseamed cheeks there was a certain pallor, a greyness caught from many a vigil. It was as though, afterNature had done her worst with that face, some fine chisel had gone over it, chastening and almosttransfiguring it. Tonight, as his muscles twitched with emotion, and the perspiration dropped fromhis hair and chin, there was a certain convincing power in the man. For Asa Skinner was a manpossessed of a belief, of that sentiment of the sublime before which all inequalities are leveled, thattransport of conviction which seems superior to all laws of condition, under which debauchees havebecome martyrs; which made a tinker an artist and a camel-driver the founder of an empire. Thiswas with Asa Skinner tonight, as he stood proclaiming the vengeance of God

Book excerpt: In the stories that comprise The Troll Garden, her first book, Willa Cather evokes the devastated, romantic dreams that haunt her characters. Artists, inveterate sentimentalists, hungering beauties, and demon-ridden ascetics find themselves torn between the need to confess and keep secret their private aspirations. Involved with the hope that destroys the spirit, their lives reflect both the impoverished materialism and the deadly idealism of the Plains country, of the fashionable East, and of London at the turn of the century.
