Coming, Aphrodite! is a novel written by Willa Cather that was first published in 1920. The story is set in New York City during the early 1900s and follows the life of a young artist named Don Hedger, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the art world. Don's life takes a dramatic turn when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Eden Bower, who becomes his muse and inspires him to create his best work.As Don becomes more successful, he begins to realize that Eden is not who she seems. She is a former actress who has a reputation for being promiscuous and causing trouble wherever she goes. Despite this, Don is drawn to her and becomes obsessed with her, even as he begins to see the negative impact she has on his life and career.The novel explores themes of love, obsession, and the pursuit of artistic excellence. It also offers a glimpse into the bohemian lifestyle of artists and intellectuals in early 20th century New York City. With its vivid descriptions of the city and its characters, Coming, Aphrodite! is a captivating and thought-provoking read that has stood the test of time.Eden Bower was, at twenty, very much the same person that we all know her to be at forty, except that she knew a great deal less. But one thing she knew: that she was to be Eden Bower. She was like some one standing before a great show window full of beautiful and costly things, deciding which she will order. She understands that they will not all be delivered immediately, but one by one they will arrive at her door.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
