Description

Death Comes for the Archbishop is a masterpiece of American literature. Willa Cather's novel tells the story of two French priests who are sent to New Mexico to reawaken the faith, and their journey through unforgiving landscapes, danger, rebellion, and loneliness. Through their many years together, the priests find sustenance in faith, friendship, and the awe-inspiring majesty that surrounds them. Cather's writing is marked by simplicity and sublime beauty, as she asks profound questions about what it means to live a life well. This work is a rare artistic achievement, with an effect that works slowly and mysteriously. A powerful exploration of the human spirit, Death Comes for the Archbishop is a novel that will stay with readers long after they finish reading.
