Anne, la de Tejados Verdes

by L.M. Montgomery

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.

Muy lindo libro, algunas partes eran bastante densas, pero es una historia muy emotiva e interesante. No me gustaron las ilustraciones. Lloré bastante al final. Buen libro y mejor la serie.

Relata la belleza de la vida cotidiana. Enternecedora. De lectura ligera, muy buena traducción al español

[Amanda Prosdócimo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tal como ha señalado Mark Twain Anne es "la más querida y encantadora niña de ficción desde la inmortal Alicia".
El libro te atrapa de una manera alucinante y te lleva por la vida de Anne, un personaje circular, el cual va cambiando y creciendo a lo largo del relato, no sólo en un aspecto cronológico sino a nivel intelectual y emocional.
El primer libro invita sin duda a seguir adentrándose en la vida de Anne.

Es un libro bastante estretenido y llevadero con dibujos y momentos hermosos.
Los personajes son súper interesantes y me encariñé con todas. Ademas me encantó el crecimiento de los personajes y como van cambiando.
Se lee re rápido aunque es un libro de vida cotidiana.
Me encanta como se relacionan los personajes entre sí
porque siento que las relaciones eran súper reales.
Me senti identificada por varias partes y me sorprendió un montón ya que el libro fue escrito hace un montón.
Ame el enemies to lovers porque literal ella lo odia, pero él es tan bueno que en realidad lo ama JSJAJJS.
El final fue triste, pero era necesario y me re gustó.
Me re sorprendió el libro porque es un clásico y a mi no me gustan los clásicos.
Aunqua me re gustó siento que no es un libro cinco estrellas de forma objetiva ya que la trama es medio plana, o sea, no pasan puchas cosas
