Anne of Green Gables:Annotated

by L.M. Montgomery

is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L. M. Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-20th century. Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books worldwide. The first in an anthology series, Montgomery wrote numerous sequels, and since her death, another sequel has been published, as well as an authorized prequel. The original book is taught to students around the world.
The book has been adapted as films, television films, and animated and live-action television series. Musicals and plays have also been created, with productions annually in Europe and Japan.
Montgomery was inspired by the "formula Ann" orphan stories (called such because they followed such a predictable formula) which were popular at the time and distinguished her character by spelling her name with an extra "e". She based other characters, such as Gilbert Blythe, in part on people she knew. She said she wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, while sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish.

Judul : Anne of Green Gables
Author : L.M. Montgomery
Tahun diterbitkan kembali : 2021
Penerbit : Wilco Publishing House
Tebal : 322 Hal

Selama ini kebanyakan buku Anne of Green Gables yang ku baca sudah disederhanakan ceritanya (abridged). Kali ini aku membaca versi aslinya yang complete dan unabridged.
Ternyata Versi aslinya lebih bagus dan benar-benar kerasa banget kata yang seperti mendayu-dayu.. Hmmm.. apa ya istilahnya.. deskripsinya seperti prosa gitu, berirama dan penggambaran-nya seakan romantis gitu.
Hal ini wajar mengingat buku ini diciptakan pertama kali oleh L.M. Montgomery pada tahun 1908. Mungkin saat itu Novel-novel yang ditulis pakai bahasa yang seperti ini ya. Thee, Thou Yup seperti itu.

Walau ada sempet beberapa kali ku merasa kesulitan dalam mebacanya, karena bahasa Classic nya yang kental tapi aku hajar aja tanpa membuka kamus. Karena salah satu teman buku-ku Dian menyarankan kalau baca buku Inggris yang sulit ga usah buka kamus, lanjut dan hajar aja, karena kalau buka kamus malahan mengurangi asyiknya cerita yang sedang kita baca. lama-lama kita dapat feel nya dan mengerti arti nya sendiri tanpa buka-buka kamus.

Buku pertama dari Anne ini sudah kubaca dari berbagai versi dari yang versi Indonesia terbitan Gramedia, versi buku klasik anak-anak, sampai pada Graphic Novel bahkan komik nya. Yup sesuka itu aku sama cerita Anne ini, hingga aku ga ragu mengoleksinya.

Saat membaca yang versi Complete dan Unabridged ini, dimana bahasa asli dari si pengarang langsung, aku benar-benar suka dan asyik banget bacanya, ga bosen sedikitpun. kaya bacanya itu disayang-sayang.

Sebetulnya L.M. Montgomery banyak menerbitkan Novel dari buku anak sampai Misteri. Karya nya ada 20 Novel, 530 cerpen, 500 poems dan 30 essays sebelum ia akhirnya meninggal dunia di Tahun 1942.

Karyanya yang paling terkenal dan diterbitkan di seluruh dunia ialah Anne of Green Gables ini, bahkan di sekolah-sekolah luar Negri, jadi buku bacaan wajib di sekolah-sekolah. Pokoknya Karya yang abadi sepanjang masa. Terbukti usianya sudah 115 tahun masih terus diterbitkan ulang sampai saat ini.

Pokoknya 5 bintang dariku untuk buku ke-1 nya ini.

saatnya lanjut ke buku 2 nya "Anne of Avonlea"
