Gilbert Blythe and Anne Shirley Cuthbert marry and move to into their new house-“Anne’s House of Dreams,” as they lovingly name it. The first glimpse of Anne’s new home was a delight to the eye and spirit-it looked like a big, creamy seashell stranded on the harbour shore.

Anne was delighted to be the third bride occupying this delightful house, as they enjoy their bliss as a newlywed couple.
She was the perfect wife and homemaker and soon converted the little white house into a home–the home to many a beautiful friendship-Captain Jim, Cornelia Bryant, Leslie Moore, and Owen Ford-became a vital part of this house of dreams.

What dreams would this house fulfil or not fulfil for them and their friends?

Anne of Green Gables Collection, Book 8

Anne Blythe’s youngest high-spirited daughter, 15-year-old Rilla, captures in her diary, the poignant story of how WWI affected the lives of the people of Glen St Mary, Canada. The premonition of Walter, Rilla’s brother-of the Piped Piper coming down the rainbow valley with a shadowy host behind him, came true, when news of the war was announced. Soon, every able-bodied man-young and old volunteered. How many would return?

“Walter died for Canada-I must live for her. That is what he asked me to do.” Rilla wrote in her diary.

Will Rilla keep her promise not to kiss another man until Kenneth Ford returns from war? How long and why did Dog Monday wait at Glen railway station,
refusing to return to Ingleside? Whose dirge was he howling?

لم يكن من الغريب أن يعتبر كتاب "فن الحرب" أحد أهم مائة كتاب في تاريخ البشرية. فقد اشتهر هذا الكتاب في المحافل العسكرية وبين المتخصصين في العلوم الاستراتيجية بأنه "الكتاب المقدس" للدراسات العسكرية. فصول الكتاب الثلاثة عشر ذات مغزى تكتيكي وكانت أول ترجمة له للفرنسية منذ مائتي عام، فالكتاب الذي وضع منذ حوالي 25 قرناً لا يزال صالحاً للتطبيق حتى اليوم في مجال إدارة الصراع، ليس الصراع العسكري فحسب ولكن أيضاً في المجالات السياسية و الإدارية وحتى الرياضية. كتاب "فن الحرب" حرصت القيادة الأمريكية على أن يحمله كل جندي ذهب إلى حرب تحرير الكويت لقراءته، كما اعتادت الشركات اليابانية على أخذ النصائح التى حفل بها من أجل تطبيقها. هذا الكتاب لا يركز على تحقيق النصر فحسب، بل أيضا على تجنب الهزيمة وتقليل تفادي الخسائر بأكبر قدر ممكن.
