Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Professor's House" by Willa Cather is a novel published in 1925. Professor Godfrey St. Peter clings to his dusty old study while his family moves forward, struggling with middle age and the haunting memory of Tom Outland, his brilliant former student who died in the Great War. As his daughters' marriages bring unwelcome change and material wealth derived from Outland's invention transforms those around him, the Professor confronts a deepening crisis about whether life still holds meaning worth living for.
