Death come for the archbishop

Jean Marie Latour is a bishop who has been tasked with establishing the Roman Catholic church in New Mexico, which has just officially become a part of the United States. After a treacherous year-long journey to reach New Mexico, Latour finds some of the Mexican religious leaders less than welcoming. Intent on his goal, Latour works for the remainder of his life to build a solid religious foundation in the fledgling territory. Willa Cather was inspired to write Death Comes for the Archbishop by the life of Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy who established the Saint Francis Cathedral in New Mexico between 1869 and 1886. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

  • "When Cather first visited the American Southwest in 1912, she found a new world to imagine and soon came to feel that the story of the Catholic Church in [the Southwest] was the most interesting of all its stories. The narrative follows Bishop Jean Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant, friends since their childhood in France, as they organize the new Roman Catholic diocese of Santa Fe subsequent to the Mexican War. While seeking to revive the church and build a cathedral in the desert, the clerics, like their historical prototypes, Bishop Jean Lamy and Father Joseph Machebeuf, face religious corruption, natural adversity, and the loneliness of living in a strange and unforgiving land."@en
  • "In 1851 French Bishop Latour and his friend Father Valliant are despatched to New Mexico to reawaken its slumbering Catholicism. Moving along the endless prairies, Latour spreads his faith the only way he knows-- gently, although he must contend with the unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Over nearly 40 years, they leave converts and enemies, crosses, and occasionally ecstasy in their wake. But it takes a death for them to make their mark on the landscape forever."@en

Důležitou roli v dílehrajekrajina, pustá a liduprázdná, kterou spisovatelka líčí s důvěrnou znalostí, a dále chudí Mexičané, Indiáni a mestici, kteří jí přizpůsobují svůj život."

Une relation de voyages qui, selon André Le Vot (dans ##Le Monde## du 21 mars 1986, p. 20), constitue un "western ecclésiastique", épuré et serein."

  • "There is something epic - and almost mythic - about this sparsely beautiful novel by Willa Cather, although the story it tells is that of a single human life, lived simply in the silence of the desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, Americans by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows - gently, although he must contend with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended."@en
  • "La muerte llama al arzobispo recrea una atmosfera magica donde confluyen ritos, creencias y supersticiones de muy diversa procedencia. Sus protagonistas son dos sacerdotes catolicos que viven aventuras y afrontan preligros como si fueran, en ocasiones, los heroes de un western: viajan en una pintoresca carreta, reciben multiples heridas, tributo necesario a la dureza del entorno, y ilegan a erigires en brazo de la justicia en ausencia de autoridad judicial. Novela de aventuras y retrato costumbrista salpicado de acontecimientos historicos en un paisaje primigenio y titanico que parece dominar a su antojo la vida de los mortales."@en

The names given to the main proponents reflect their characters. Vaillant, valiant, is fearless in his promulgation of the faith, whereas Latour, the tower, is more intellectual and reserved than his comrade."

  • "Death Comes for the Archbishop sprang from Willa Cather's love for the land and cultures of the American Southwest. Published in 1927 to both praise and perplexity, it has since claimed for itself a major place in twentieth-century literature. The narrative follows Bishop Jean Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant, friends since their childhood in France, as they organize the new Roman Catholic diocese of Santa Fe subsequent to the Mexican War. While seeking to revive the church and build a cathedral in the desert, the clerics, like their historical prototypes, Bishop Jean Laury and Father Joseph Machebeuf, face religious corruption, natural adversity, and the loneliness of living in a strange and unforgiving land."

Over nearly 40 years, they leave converts and enemies, crosses, and occasionally ecstasy in their wake. But it takes a death for them to make their mark on the landscape forever."
  • ""Un soir de l'été 1848, Rome décide d'envoyer le père Latour, qui exerce son ministère près des Grands lacs, ranimer la foi au Nouveau-Mexique. Il part avec un collègue rejoindre Santa-Fé. A dos de cheval, ils inventorient leur diocèse au fil des années."
  • "Considered her greatest work, this experimental novel is based on the real-life experiences of two French missionaries in New Mexico and showing her empathy for nature in its unspoiled beauty."@en
