    Ordine di lettura libri di John Marsden

    John Marsden è un autore australiano, nato il 27 settembre 1950 a Victoria. È principalmente noto per la sua letteratura per giovani adulti, in particolare per la serie di romanzi “Tomorrow”. Prima di dedicarsi alla scrittura a tempo pieno, Marsden ha lavorato come insegnante.

    Marsden ha frequentato la scuola di Geelong Grammar, poi si è laureato in legge presso l’Università di Sydney. Dopo aver esercitato la professione di avvocato, ha deciso di seguire la sua vera passione, la letteratura, e ha iniziato a scrivere nel 1987.

    Il suo genere principale è il romanzo distopico per giovani adulti. La sua serie più famosa, “Tomorrow”, segue un gruppo di adolescenti in una versione distopica dell’Australia, dove il paese è invaso da forze straniere. La serie ha ottenuto un grande successo sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, diventando un bestseller e venendo tradotta in numerose lingue.

    Oltre alla serie “Tomorrow”, Marsden è anche l’autore di altri romanzi per giovani adulti come “So Much to Tell You” e “Take My Word for It”. Ha anche scritto libri per bambini, come “Hamlet: A Novel” e “The Rabbits”, quest’ultimo in collaborazione con l’illustratrice Shaun Tan.

    Marsden ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti per il suo lavoro. Ha vinto l’Australian Children’s Book of the Year Award quattro volte e il suo romanzo “So Much to Tell You” ha vinto il Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year nel 1988. “Tomorrow, When the War Began”, il primo libro della serie “Tomorrow”, ha vinto il premio Aurealis per il miglior romanzo per giovani adulti nel 1995.

    Per quanto riguarda il suo impatto sulla letteratura, John Marsden è considerato uno dei più importanti autori di letteratura per giovani adulti in Australia. Le sue opere sono state elogiate per la loro rappresentazione realistica degli adolescenti e per il modo in cui affrontano temi difficili come la guerra e la perdita. Inoltre, la sua serie “Tomorrow” ha contribuito a popolarizzare il genere distopico nel panorama della letteratura per giovani adulti.

    Nel 2006, Marsden ha fondato la Candlebark School, una scuola primaria che si basa su principi di apprendimento pratico e rispetto per l’ambiente. Nel 2016 ha aperto la Alice Miller School, una scuola secondaria con un forte focus sull’arte, la creatività e l’importanza dell’individualità.
