Anne på Grönkulla

by L.M. Montgomery, Eva Ström (Translator)

Av misstag skickas 11-åriga, föräldralösa Anne till de medelålders syskonen Cuthbert. Den rödhåriga, fräkniga Anne är intelligent och fantasifull, men har ett minst sagt häftigt humör. Hon menar att syskonen är hennes "besläktade själar", och efter mycket övertalning låter de henne stanna. Det blir början på den klassiska berättelsen om Annes äventyr i den lilla staden Avonlea på Prins Edwards ö. Hon är full av glädje och påhitt, men alla i Avonlea är inte redo för yrvädret Anne. Som tur är har hon sin bästa vän Diana, sina böcker och sina drömmar. En klassiker i originalöversättning av Karin Lidforss Jensen. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) växte upp på en ö i Kanada, i samma område som böckerna om Anne utspelar sig. Till att börja med hittade hon ingen som ville ge ut hennes böcker om Anne på Grönkulla, men när de väl gavs ut blev de en stor succé. Nummer åtta på listan av de bästa barnböckerna som någonsin skrivits, enligt School Library Journal

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.

En gammal favorit som jag läst om några gånger i mitt liv. Detta är en helt ny översättning som inte är förkortad. Älskar Anne och hela hennes poetiska uppenbarelse - naturskildringarna och kärleken mellan henne och fosterföräldrarna som växer fram. Fortfarande en av mina finaste läsupplevelser ❤️🌸

Anne på Grönkulla var första boken i barn - och ungdomslitteraturkursen jag läser nu och oj vad jag njöt. Svåra saker behandlas, men den är samtidigt så fruktansvärt mysig!
Anne kan absolut tolkas vara den mest irriterande jäkla ungen i världen, men hos mig går det hem och jag har roligt från början till slut.
