The narrative centers on the life and experiences of Ántonia Shimerda, a Bohemian girl who immigrates to Nebraska, and her connection to Jim Burden, the narrator who reminisces about their childhood and the struggles of immigrant life in a harsh landscape. Through Jim's eyes, the novel explores themes of nostalgia, nature, and the immigrant experience in America. The opening of the novel introduces Jim Burden as he journeys to his grandparents' Nebraska farm after losing his parents. Traveling with a mountain boy named Jake, Jim reflects on the differences between city life and the rural world awaiting him. As they arrive in Black Hawk, Jim recounts the immigrant family's arrival—the Shimerdas—and describes their first interactions, especially with Ántonia, who embodies the hopes and struggles of her family. The narrative sets the tone for an exploration of the bond between Jim and Ántonia, against the backdrop of the American frontier and the challenges faced by immigrants adapting to a new life.
