Résumé

107 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h20min.
The Professor's House by Willa Cather is a profound exploration of memory, loss, and identity. Set in a Midwestern university town, the novel centers on Professor Godfrey St. Peter, an aging academic who finds himself disconnected from his family, career, and personal achievements. As he moves into a new house, he clings to his old study, symbolizing his emotional resistance to change and his yearning for the past. The narrative takes a unique turn with the interlude “Tom Outland’s Story,” a heartfelt account of the professor’s deceased protégé. Tom’s experiences in the Southwest, especially his discovery of ancient cliff dwellings, contrast sharply with the professor’s stifling academic world. This part of the novel brings in themes of exploration, purity, and a lost American ideal. Ultimately, The Professor's House reflects on the cost of progress and intellectualism. Through its layered structure and introspective tone, Cather paints a poignant portrait of a man confronting his fading passions and unfulfilled dreams.
