Reseña del libro "Kilmeny Of The Orchard"

Kilmeny Of The OrchardMontgomery Kilmeny of the Orchard is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.A young man named Eric Marshall goes to teach a school on Prince Edward Island and meets Kilmeny, a mute girl who has perfect hearing. He sees her when he is walking through an old orchard and hears her playing the violin. He visits her a number of times and gradually falls in love with her. When he proposes she rejects him, even though she loves him in return, believing that her disability will only hinder his life if they were married, despite his protests that it wouldn't matter at all.Meanwhile, Eric's good friend David who is a renowned throat doctor, comes to the island and visits Eric. He examines Kilmeny, and says that nothing will cure her but an extreme psychological need to speak.Eric Marshall: The male protagonist in the story. He is described as "one of those men regarding whom less-favoured mortals are tempted to wonder why all the gifts of fortune should be showered on one individual".[1] His one fault seems to be extreme pragmatism. Eric lost his mother when he was ten, and has high ideals regarding a future wife.Kilmeny Gordon: Kilmeny is the main female protagonist, a sheltered, beautiful girl. Unfortunately, Kilmeny is mute, and expresses herself with the help of a slate and pencil, or her treasured violin.David Baker: Eric's older friend who owes David's father a debt of gratitude. He works as a throat specialist. David is very close to Eric and wishes he would get married.Larry West: A poor, hardworking student who used to go to school with Eric. He offers Eric a position as a teacher at a school in Lindsay, on PEI.Mr. Marshall, Sr.: Eric's father a "keen, shrewd, somewhat hard, although just and honest, man of business".[1] He, like David, wishes Eric would marry.Mrs. Williamson: A quiet, motherly, country woman who is Eric's land-lady. Larry describes her as She-Who- Must-Be- Obeyed.Old Robert Williamson: Mrs. Williamson's husband, a talkative, gossipy man.Thomas Gordon: Kilmeny's uncle, who helped raise her after her mother's death three years back. He is well-read, and wins any argument he enters, although he becomes embarrassed for days after.Janet Gordon: Kilmeny's aunt, who helped raise her after her mother's death three years back. An intelligent woman. she stays in the woman's sphere, but enjoys seeing her brother bested.Margaret Gordon: Kilmeny's dead mother, whose stubbornness and influence last past the grave.

Lucy Maud Montgomery fue una periodista y novelista canadiense, especialmente reconocida por las novelas de _Ana de las Tejas Verdes_. Su madre murió cuando Lucy tenía veintiún meses y su padre se marchó a hacer fortuna y la dejó a cargo de sus abuelos, lo cual sin duda influyó en la futura creación de su personaje más popular. Después de trabajar de maestra, comenzó a colaborar en periódicos locales y fue entonces cuando creó el personaje que cambiaría su vida. Ana de las Tejas Verdes cuenta la historia de dos hermanos, dueños de la granja Tejas Verdes, que deciden adoptar a un niño huérfano pero que, debido a una serie de malentendidos, en lugar de un niño reciben a una niña pelirroja, pálida y llena de pecas que con su alegría y desbordante imaginación cambiará la vida de todo el pueblo. Montgomery narra con mano maestra las experiencias de una niña en un entorno rural. Aunque en un principio, las aventuras de Ana no estaban destinadas a un público en concreto, en las últimas décadas, el libro se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura infantil.
