Anne of Green Gables

Anne Shirley, the orphan child who brings happiness and love into the lives of her foster family, is one of the most beloved heroines in all literature. This wildly imaginative, red-headed chatterbox tries to fit into the narrow confines of Victorian expectations, but her exuberant spirit keeps leaping delightfully beyond the bounds.When Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew find that they are getting too old to work the farm by themselves, they decide to adopt an orphan boy to help out. To their dismay, they are sent a girl by mistake-an impetuous girl with a hopeless lack of manners. Pragmatic Marilla is determined to return her, but warm-hearted Matthew urges that she be given a chance to prove herself. The challenge laid down for this eleven-year-old girl-and the mishaps that befall her before she wins the heart of her foster mother-make for a delightfully charming story. "[Anne Shirley is] the most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice."-Mark Twain

Anne of Green Gables [With eBook]

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables send for a boy orphan to help them out at their farm, they mistakenly get Anne Shirley, a feisty, independent, but warm-hearted eleven-year-old girl. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination win the hearts of her reluctant foster parents and everyone in the community. But not a day goes by without some memorable adventure or prank in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on, for example, she accidentally dyes her "cursed" red hair green. Later, in an effort to impress a neighbor she bakes a cake, but with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote that Anne is an extension of herself and represents the independent, "new" woman of the emerging twentieth century. Individualistic, resourceful, and of a great humanitarian heart, she remains a great role model for girls and women today. ** Please contact member services for additional documents.

Anne quitte son île

C'est avec un grand bonheur que nous retrouvons Anne dans ce troisième opus de la saga d'Anne Shirley, de Lucy Maud Montgomery. Après une année à enseigner à l'école d'Avonlea, Anne accomplit son rêve et se rend sur le continent pour étudier à l'université de Redmond. Elle n'y part pas seule : quelques amis d'Avonlea, dont Gilbert et Priscilla, sont aussi du voyage. À Redmond, Anne découvre un cadre de vie très différent de celui de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Elle y fait de nombreuses rencontres : la pétulante Philippa, une vieille dame expansive et quelques chats borgnes deviennent ses intimes dans une improbable colocation. Elle n'en oublie pas pour autant les habitants d'Avonlea, dont nous continuons de suivre les destins, heureux ou dramatiques. La grande préoccupation d'Anne et de ses comparses de l'université est de trouver l'âme sœur. Anne décline plusieurs demandes en mariage, dont certaines très drôles ! Éprise d'idéal, elle éconduit aussi, à la surprise générale, Gilbert. Quand le beau Roy Gardner fait irruption dans sa vie, elle pense avoir enfin trouvé celui qu'elle cherchait. Lucy Maud Montgomery excelle à décrire les destins, caractères et avanies des uns et des autres avec humour et humanité. Ce troisième tome, riche en nouveaux personnages, est particulièrement vivant et savoureux. Le passage de l'intelligente et sensible Anne Shirley à l'âge adulte ne laisse pas indifférent ! La saga d'Anne Shirley est un grand classique de la littérature canadienne. Il fut notamment adapté à la télévision sous le titre Anne, le bonheur au bout du chemin (1985) et plus récemment par Netflix sous le nom Anne with an E. Écrit par l'auteure canadienne Lucy Maud Montgomery, dont l'enfance a inspiré l'histoire d'Anne, le roman rencontre dès sa sortie en 1908 un immense succès. Vendu à plus de 60 millions d'exemplaires, il n'a cessé d'être réédité et adapté depuis. La France est étonnamment restée en marge de cet engouement mondial : peu nombreux encore sont ceux qui connaissant la saga de Lucy Maud Montgomery autrement que par le petit écran. La nouvelle traduction de Sandrine Larbre est l'occasion de découvrir ce grand roman sur le pouvoir de l'imagination, l'acceptation de sa différence et la liberté. Exempt de toute mièvrerie, souvent drôle, il plaira aux plus jeunes comme à leurs parents.
