Anne auf Green Gables / Auf dem Weg ins Glück

by L.M. Montgomery

Den Beginn ihres Studiums in Kingsport hat sich Anne Shirley anders vorgestellt! Zum Glück hat sie ihre alten Schulfreunde Gilbert und Priscilla, die ihr über das erste Heimweh hinweghelfen. Und Anne wäre nicht Anne, wenn sie nicht auch am College ordentlich für Wirbel sorgen würde. Noch dazu gilt es, die erste Liebe zu überstehen!

Nach ihrem Examen und frisch verlobt nimmt Anne eine Stelle als Rektorin an der Summerside-High-School an. Dort kommt sie bei zwei schrulligen, aber liebenswerten alten Damen unter, die Anne in ihr Herz schließen. Dagegen „tyrannisiert“ die alteingesessene Familie der Pringles das ganze Städtchen geradezu! Das kann Anne natürlich nicht dulden.

About the author

Lucy Maud Montgomery was a Canadian author whose novels, stories, essays and poems made her one of the most widely read writers in Canadian literary history. Publishing under the name L. M. Montgomery, she achieved international recognition with the novel Anne of Green Gables, released in 1908, which quickly became a bestseller and introduced readers to the imaginative orphan Anne Shirley. The success of the book transformed Montgomery from a schoolteacher and magazine contributor into a celebrated literary figure whose work reached audiences far beyond Canada. Raised on Prince Edward Island, she drew deeply on its landscapes, rural communities, and storytelling traditions, turning the island into the setting for many of her novels. The popularity of Anne of Green Gables led to numerous sequels, including Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island, establishing a beloved series that followed Anne from childhood to adulthood. Montgomery continued to write steadily throughout her life, producing twenty novels and more than a thousand short stories poems and essays. Her fiction often centered on young women, personal growth, and the emotional ties between people and place, combining gentle humor with reflections on memory, imagination, and belonging. Although she enjoyed enormous popularity, Montgomery also faced personal difficulties, including long periods of depression and the strain of caring for her husband, a Presbyterian minister who struggled with mental illness. Writing became both a profession and a refuge, allowing her to transform memories of childhood and observation of everyday life into vivid storytelling. In addition to the Anne series, she created other notable works, including the Emily novels and several stand alone stories that explored identity, creativity, and attachment to home. Her books were translated widely and attracted devoted readers around the world, helping shape the international image of Prince Edward Island as a place of pastoral beauty and warm community life. Scholars later studied her extensive journals letters and manuscripts, which revealed the complex inner life behind the cheerful tone of many of her books. By the time of her death in 1942, Montgomery had become one of the most successful and influential authors in Canadian literature. Her stories about imagination, resilience, and the search for belonging continue to inspire readers of all ages, and Anne Shirley remains one of the most recognizable characters in children's fiction. Through generations of readers, Montgomery's work has encouraged appreciation for storytelling, nature, and the emotional richness of ordinary life. Her legacy also includes a vast body of diaries and correspondence that document the challenges faced by a professional woman writer in the early twentieth century. Institutions such as the L. M. Montgomery Institute have continued to examine her influence on literature culture and tourism, particularly on Prince Edward Island, where sites associated with her fiction attract visitors from many countries. Adaptations of Anne of Green Gables for film, television, and theatre have introduced new audiences to her stories, ensuring that her characters remain part of global popular culture. Though critical opinion once dismissed her as merely a writer for children, later scholarship recognized the depth of her themes and the enduring craft of her storytelling. Today she is remembered as a central figure in Canadian literature whose imaginative vision gave voice to the beauty of rural life while celebrating the hopes of young dreamers who search for belonging.

Check out my reviews on each individual book on their main pages!

Ich finde den Schreibstil sehr schön, habe es sehr gern gelesen. Man fühlt sich in eine andere Zeit zurück versetzt. Auch wenn nicht so wahnsinnig viel passiert, ist es unterhaltsam.

[Tamara Zann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another enjoyable book about Anne. I was a little disappointed not to find more of Gilbert there. Of course, all of Anne's letters are addressed to him, but there is nothing we learn about the three years from his point of view.
In this book, Anne is helping many lovers on their way, which is lovable to read. There is a thing about Anne Shirley that makes me feel bad about myself at times. I am a trusting soul myself and expect the best of every day when I greet it in the morning but compared to Anne I sometimes feel like a miserable, grumpy lady. That makes me want to be more friendly and helpful all the more though, so it isn't a bad thing.

I read and reviewed the two books collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. The collection rating is an average of the two individual ratings, rounded up because Goodreads doesn't do half stars. Of the two books, I preferred Anne of the Island, because I really did enjoy Anne's romance with Gilbert. I always thought it was a shame that it never carried on to the next book (which is part of the reason that Windy Willows only earned three stars from me). Yes, they're still engaged, and yes, Anne is writing him letters and those letters make up substantial parts of the book, but... Gilbert isn't actually in it. And Montgomery is ruthlessly careful to edit out any sense of romance from Anne's letters, so it's all a bit odd, actually. Don't get me wrong, I liked Windy Willows, but I read this series several times as a kid and this is the book I always forget, perhaps because it feels so much like a placeholder in that central relationship.

Ein Buch das mit Worten nicht beschrieben werden kann.
Die Geschichte ist nicht actionreich, extrem spannend, herzzerreißend oder ungewöhnlich. Alles, was sie ist, ist schön. Eine einfache Geschichte über ein junges Mädchen, das ihren Weg geht und jedem, dem sie begegnet, an ihrem Glück und ihrer Freude teilhaben lässt. Obwohl das Leben ende des 19. Jahrhunderts sehr offensichtlich extrem romantisiert wird kann man nicht anders, als sich in diese Zeit auf die kanadische Insel zu wünschen. Ein Alltag, der von den einfachen Dingen lebt und Freude in Allem, was einem begegnet, egal, ob Wind, Regen, Blumen, ein Lächeln oder ein Sonnenaufgang.
Am Ende des Buches bleibt man mit einem glücklichen Herzen zurück.

Ich liebe das Buch genauso sehr, wie ich Anne auf Green Gables geliebt habe! Ich kann Anne einfach nicht loslassen ich vermisse sie schon jetzt, nachdem ich das Buch endgültig zugeschlagen habe!
Leider erfährt man in diesem Buch ab Teil zwei nicht mehr allzuoft etwas von Gilbert. Das fand ich sehr schade!
Der Schreibstil ist sehr angenehm zu lesen, obwohl die Wortwahl oft sehr altertümlich war, aber das macht das Buch besonders.
Außerdem lernt man, wie ich finde, einige Dinge, die oft in oder zwischen den Zeilen stehen. Viele Zitate prägen sich in das Gedächtnis ein und verändern dich und dein Mindset.
Ein echtes Herzensbuch, auch wenn es mir doch teilweise mein Herz gebrochen hat!

I love this saga. Anne and this dreams amazes me. But if I’m really honest this book demonstrates a Shortness of breath. This saga isn’t same like in when I opened Anne of green cable for the first time. I finish this saga but I’m little bit afraid about next of this saga.
