SINOPSIS
At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.
Anne of Avonlea is the second book in the Anne of Green Gables series. This book follows Anne Shirley from the age of 16-18 during the two years she teaches at the Avonlea school. Anne discovers all of the joys and struggles of being a teacher and continuing her studies and friendship with Gilbert.
MONTGOMERY LUCY MAUD
Lucy Maud Montgomery fue una periodista y novelista canadiense, especialmente reconocida por las novelas de Ana de las Tejas Verdes. Su madre murió cuando Lucy tenía veintiún meses y su padre se marchó a hacer fortuna y la dejó a cargo de sus abuelos, lo cual sin duda influyó en la futura creación de su personaje más popular. Después de trabajar de maestra, comenzó a colaborar en periódicos locales y fue entonces cuando creó el personaje que cambiaría su vida. Ana de las Tejas Verdes cuenta la historia de dos hermanos, dueños de la granja Tejas Verdes, que deciden adoptar a un niño huérfano pero que, debido a una serie de malentendidos, en lugar de un niño reciben a una niña pelirroja, pálida y llena de pecas que con su alegría y desbordante imaginación cambiará la vida de todo el pueblo. Montgomery narra con mano maestra las experiencias de una niña en un entorno rural. Aunque en un principio, las aventuras de Ana no estaban destinadas a un público en concreto, en las últimas décadas, el libro se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura infantil.
