Anne of Green Gables

Lucy Maud Montgomery

"Dear Old World, You Are Very Lovely, and I Am Glad to Be Alive in You."

When a skinny, freckled girl with a vivid imagination and a penchant for "big words" arrives at a quiet farm on Prince Edward Island, nothing will ever be the same. Anne of Green Gables is more than a story of a mistake—it is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the magic that happens when we dare to see the world through a lens of wonder.

This edition captures the enduring magic of Montgomery's masterpiece:

The Power of "Kindred Spirits": Revisit the heart of the novel—the search for true belonging and the deep, soulful connections that turn strangers into family.

The Landscape of Avonelea: Immerse yourself in the lush, sensory descriptions of "The White Way of Delight" and "The Lake of Shining Waters," where nature itself is a character.

A Heroine for the Ages: Experience the wit and "scrapes" of Anne Shirley, a protagonist whose fierce independence and poetic soul have inspired generations of readers.

A Coming-of-Age Journey: Witness the poignant transition from childhood fancy to the responsibilities of young adulthood, all while keeping the "bent for romance" alive.

Lucy Maud Montgomery's prose is a masterclass in atmosphere and emotional depth. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of classic fiction, youth literature, and inspirational storytelling.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under...

Jules Verne

Jules Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s, his literary reputation has improved.
VOLUME 1: The year 1866 was signalised by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and puzzling phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumours which agitated the maritime population and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited.
