      At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

      Edice Zebra zväzok 3

      Mladý milionár Rex Walton dostane od vydierača Kupieho list, aby vo vlastnom záujme upustil od sobáša s krásnou Donnou Colemanovou, lebo ak nie, pride o svoj milión libier. Pol hodiny pred sobášom Waiton a jeho milión zmizne – a toto je predzvesť mnohých záhadných udalostí, až kým inšpektor Sepping, inak Waltonov priateľ, smutne presláveného Kupieho neodhalí. Celý príbeh, napísaný Wallaceovým nenapodobniteľným štýlom, speje na konci k rozuzleniu, ktoré je pre tohto majstra napätia také príznačné.

    • 2. díl rozsáhlého historického románu (Po bouři) sleduje dramatické osudy hrdinky po porážce Konfederace a v době nástupu nového společenského uspořádání. Většina jižanské společnosti zůstává po porážce ochromená a vykořeněná a jen někteří, mezi nimi i Scarlett, se dovedou přizpůsobit novým poměrům a přes pohoršení ostatních se snaží využít jich ve svůj prospěch. Pod tlakem doby se mění Scarlett v bezohlednou a tvrdou ženu, ochotnou podniknout vše, jen aby se vyhnula bídě. Bezohlednost vůči cizím i vlastní rodině jí sice přinese bohatství, ale nakonec se obrátí proti ní samotné. V přepychu a zdánlivě na vrcholu všeho, co chtěla v životě dosáhnout, ztrácí mladá žena skutečnou lásku a hořce si uvědomuje následky svých dřívějších omylů.
