""Alexander's Bridge" is the first novel by the American author Willa Cather. It was initially published in 1912 and later re-released with an author's preface in 1922. The novel also ran as a serial in McClure's magazine, providing Cather with some free time from her work for that publication1. Here's a brief summary of the novel: Plot Introduction: The protagonist, Bartley Alexander, is a construction engineer and a world-renowned builder of bridges. Bartley is undergoing a mid-life crisis and is married to Winifred. Despite his marriage, Bartley resumes his acquaintance with a former lover, Hilda Burgoyne, in London. The affair gnaws at Bartley's sense of propriety and honor. Plot Summary: Professor Lucius Wilson arrives at the Alexanders' house in Boston. Bartley had persuaded him to attend a Congress of Psychologists in the city. Bartley's wife, Winifred, greets Professor Wilson. Bartley discusses his trouble with a bridge in Canada. Bartley's relationship with Hilda becomes a central conflict. The novel takes a tragic turn when Bartley is called to inspect the failing bridge in Canada. While on the bridge, he realizes its structural integrity is compromised, but it collapses before he can prevent disaster. Bartley dies along with many workers. The aftermath involves Winifred making arrangements for her husband's corpse, and Professor Wilson reflecting on the consequences of Bartley's actions. "Alexander's Bridge" explores themes of love, ambition, and the impact of choices. Cather's portrayal of human connections and their fragility resonates throughout the novel."Show book

Hilariously naive Principal Spaetzle wants to be like Frazz, and first-grade teacher (and first-rate babe!) Miss Plainwell is getting to know him better. And the kids at Bryson Elementary can't get enough of him! Live from Bryson Elementary is the first Frazz collection and will leave fans begging for more.Show book
