Coming, Aphrodite! is a novel written by Willa Cather, first published in 1920. The story revolves around the character of Don Hedger, a young artist who moves to New York City in pursuit of his dreams. He meets a beautiful and talented dancer named Eden Bower, who becomes his muse and lover. However, their relationship is complicated by Eden's desire for fame and success, which puts a strain on their bond. The novel explores themes of art, ambition, love, and the pursuit of happiness in the fast-paced world of 1920s New York. Cather's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions of the city and its inhabitants, as well as a deep understanding of the human psyche. Overall, Coming, Aphrodite! is a timeless tale of passion and ambition that still resonates with readers today.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.
