Cancion de la Alondra by Willa Cather

La historia narra la historia del despertar de una joven como artista en el contexto del paisaje occidental. Thea Kronborg, una aspirante a cantante, lucha por escapar de los confines de su peque a ciudad de Colorado al mundo de posibilidades en el Metropolitan Opera House. En el estilo cl sico de Cather, The Song of the Lark es la hermosa e inolvidable historia de la determinaci n estadounidense y su inextricable conexi n con la tierra.
