Lucy Maud Montgomery Libri

Emily Starr non ha mai conosciuto la solitudine fino alla morte del suo amato padre. Ora Emily è un'orfana e i suoi parenti snob la portano a vivere con loro alla New Moon Farm. Sebbene sia sicura di non essere mai felice lì, Emily affronta la sua severa zia Elizabeth e i suoi compagni di classe maliziosi con arguzia e dignità. Le cose iniziano lentamente a migliorare quando Emily fa nuove amicizie. C'è Teddy Kent, che fa meravigliosi disegni; Perry Miller, il ragazzo assunto, che ha navigato il mondo con suo padre ma non è mai andato a scuola; e soprattutto Ilse Burnley, una tomboy con un temperamento ardente. Con questi compagni straordinari al suo fianco e avventure dietro ogni angolo, Emily comincia a trovare la sua nuova casa bella e affascinante, tanto da arrivare a pensare a se stessa come Emily di New Moon. In questo primo volume della celebre trilogia di Emily, Lucy Maud Montgomery offre un ritratto più realistico della vita di una giovane orfana all'inizio del ventesimo secolo nell'Isola del Principe Edoardo.

Matthew e Marilla conducono una vita abitudinaria nel pacifico paesino di Avonlea. Ormai anziani, decidono di adottare un orfano che li aiuti a mandare avanti la fattoria. Ma invece del ragazzo promesso dall'orfanotrofio, a casa Cuthbert arriva Anna, una bambina dotata di un'inesauribile immaginazione che finirà per conquistare tutti. "Dentro di me devono esserci tante Anna diverse, a volte penso che sia per questo che sono una persona così difficile. Se fossi un' Anna sola sarebbe tutto molto più facile, ma anche molto meno interessante"

Include Pollyanna e Anna dai capelli rossi. Grandi storie in poche parole. Età di da 7 anni.

Anna Shirley, la ragazzina con la testa sempre piena di avventure, romanticismo e poesia, è diventata la signora Blythe. La sua vita da sposata comincia in una casetta affacciata sulla baia di Four Winds, la "casa dei sogni", come la chiamano lei e Gilbert. Qui infatti tanti desideri di Anna bambina si avvereranno e nuove importanti amicizie arricchiranno la sua vita: il capitano Jim, vecchio lupo di mare; la misteriosa e bellissima Leslie Moore; l'agguerrita zitella Cornelia Bryant. E per la giovane coppia è in arrivo la gioia più grande...

Kilmeny del frutteto (Kilmeny of the Orchard) è un romanzo diverso dai due precedenti di Montgomery (Anne di Tetti Verdi e Anne di Avonlea), tanto che l'autrice stessa temeva che il pubblico non lo avrebbe gradito; ma si sbagliava: la sua uscita nel maggio del 1910 fu accolta da recensioni entusiastiche, nelle quali venivano esaltati sia lo stile dell'autrice sia la piacevolezza della trama e dei personaggi, in particolare della protagonista, Kilmeny, che porta il nome della celebre eroina del folclore scozzese e, come lei, è dotata di notevole bellezza. Kilmeny del frutteto è un romantico idillio poetico che riporta i lettori sull'Isola del Principe Edoardo.

Sono passati sette anni da quando Anna e Gilbert hanno lasciato la casa dei sogni per trasferirsi nella più spaziosa Ingleside: qui la famiglia Blythe è cresciuta e ora la coppia ha sei figli. L’avventuroso Jem, il sognatore Walter, le inseparabili gemelle Di e Nan, il piccolo Shirley e la neonata Rilla riempiono le giornate di gioia, tenerezza e allegria, ma anche di tanti guai e qualche preoccupazione. Per fortuna al fianco di Anna c’è Gilbert, che nei momenti di difficoltà sa sempre come farla sorridere e nonostante le fatiche quotidiane è ancora innamorato di lei come il primo giorno.

Tre anni dividono Anna e Gilbert dalla realizzazione del loro sogno d’amore. Anna è diventata preside del liceo di Summerside e si è trasferita in una vecchia casa, Windy Poplars. Quasi ogni giorno scrive buffe e tenere lettere al fidanzato lontano, per raccontargli i suoi pensieri e le nuove esperienze. La cittadina si rivelerà piena di persone e storie interessanti, ma nel cuore di Anna nessun posto è come Green Gables! “Caro Gilbert, è primavera! Forse tu, sommerso dagli esami a Kingsport, non lo sai, ma io lo sento dalla punta dei capelli fino alle dita dei piedi”.

La tranquilla vita quotidiana dell’Isola del Principe Edoardo e i suoi abitanti sono i protagonisti di questi racconti: mille storie bizzarre, avventurose e romantiche nelle quali Anna e Gilbert fanno continuamente capolino. La Grande Guerra è ancora lontana. Alcuni dei vicini adorano i Blythe, altri disapprovano il loro anticonformismo e c’è chi vorrebbe semplicemente conoscerli meglio. Questi ultimi, lettori compresi, potranno saperne di più grazie alle poesie di Anna sparse tra un racconto e l’altro, alle chiacchierate davanti al caminetto di Ingleside e agli immancabili commenti della saggia Susan Baker.

Anche se il mondo dopo la Grande Guerra non è più quello di prima, la vita va comunque avanti. Sull'Isola del Principe Edoardo continuano a susseguirsi eventi lieti e tristi di ogni tipo. I ragazzi Blythe sono cresciuti e Anna e Gilbert, ormai nonni, sono sempre un importante punto di riferimento per la comunità. La famiglia ha ancora l'abitudine di riunirsi davanti al caminetto per stare un po' insieme, rievocare i tempi passati e onorare la memoria di Walter, che continua a vivere attraverso le sue poesie.

Anna ha finalmente coronato il suol sogno e si è iscritta ali Università di Redmond. Vivere lontano da Avonlea non è facile: per fortuna può contare su Gilbert, che con il passare del tempo diventa sempre più importante per lei. La loro storia sembra già scritta, ma la vita di Anna è una continua girandola di sorprese, dove nulla va mai come ci si aspetta. E se la persona giusta per lei non fosse Gilbert Blytke? Età di lettura: da 10 anni

Pat of Silver Bush (1933) is a novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, noted for her Anne of Green Gables series. The protagonist, Patricia Gardiner (called Pat), hates change of any kind and loves her home, Silver Bush, more than anything else in the world. She is very devoted to her family: her father and mother, her brothers Joe and Sid, and her sisters Winnie and Rachel (who everyone in the family calls Cuddles). The book begins when Pat is 7 years old and ends when she is 18. Throughout the text, various members of Pat's family are lost from Silver Bush (Aunt Hazel to marriage, Joe to life as a sailor, and Winnie to marriage). Pat is sustained through these losses due to her enduring love for her home. She is "unlike other children" and has few close friends. She maintains a strong friendship with Hilary "Jingle" Gordon, and later befriends Elizabeth "Bets" Wilcox, who eventually dies of the flu. Like most of Montgomery's texts, Pat is a domestic tale. Unlike Anne Shirley or Emily Starr, the only other Montgomery heroines whose stories are told in multiple texts, Pat is not ambitious nor a writer.
