BY MARIA MONTESSORI

Maria Montessori Sails To America During her first voyage to America at the end of 1913, Montessori kept a diary in which she dwelled on the major changes that had taken place in her life in that year and looked forward to what her visit to America might have in store for her and her work. Maria Montessori demonstrates her powers of observation and describes life on board with relish and wit. The diary also gives a rare insight into her budding relationship with her adolescent son Mario, who had come to live with her earlier that year. Translated and introduced by Carolina Montessori, her great-granddaughter, this small book is an absolute must-have for anyone interested in Montessori’s life and career. This is the first time that Maria Montessori’s thoughts, feelings and impressions, written down by herself, are being published. • 95 pp, hard cover, 2013 edition.

Item Number: 544000 Maria Montessori Writes To Her Father Maria Montessori traveled to America for the first time in 1913, a hugely successful visit leading to an even greater interest in her educational ideas. In the following year, her American supporters urged her to return to conduct training courses, which were in great demand. To celebrate the formidable technical achievement of constructing the Panama Canal, two simultaneous expositions had been organized: The Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Montessori was invited to give training courses and direct demonstration classes at both fairs. In August 1915, the famous Glass Class was opened at the San Francisco Expo. She had hesitated to accept these invitations, as it meant leaving behind in Rome her 82-year old father, Alessandro Montessori, who was in a frail condition. The letters in this volume, written to her father during the eight months spent in California in 1915, are testimony to Montessori’s great quality as an observer. Her keen eye to detail combined with her colorful descriptions reveal a spontaneous personality, delighted by what she saw and experienced; they equally show how loving and concerned a daughter Montessori was. • 112 pp, hard cover, 2015 edition.
