The Professor's House by Willa Cather (Paperback)

The Professor's House is Willa Cather's 1925 novel about Godfrey St. Peter, a history professor at a midwestern state university facing a mid-life crisis. Disillusioned with his wife and daughters, his university and the materialism of American culture, he longs for Tom Outland, his most brilliant student, who died in World War I. Tom's own account of discovering hidden cliff dweller ruins in New Mexico breaks into the story. This edition is published by Oxford University Press.
