Om One of Ours by Willa Cather, Fiction, Classics

Claude Wheeler craves excitement, far more than he can ever find as a farmer's son. A Nebraska native around the turn of the 20th century, the son of a successful farmer and an intensely pious mother, he is guaranteed a comfortable livelihood. Nevertheless, Wheeler views himself as a victim of his father's success and his own inexplicable malaise. He encounters more excitement at university, where the modern world beyond farm life offers new thrills and challenges, only to lose them as the farm calls him back. World War I offers him even more . . . but he may crave excitement more than life itself can allow. Wanting it as much as he does can't protect him from the consequences of personal bravado in an age of killing machines.
