"Mr. Laurence. I have got a letter for the lady." "All right; go up to the house, and give it to her; she'll see to you, little chap." The man spoke pleasantly, and the boy went on, feeling much cheered by the words. Through the soft spring rain that fell on sprouting grass and budding trees, Nat saw large square house before him a hospitable-looking house, with an old-fashioned porch, wide steps, and lights shining in many win-dows. Neither curtains nor shutters hid the cheerful glimmer; and, pausing a moment before he rang, Nat saw many little shadows dancing on the walls, heard the pleasant hum of young voices, and felt that it was hardly possible that the light and warmth and comfort within could be for a homeless "little chap" like him.

Notă biografică

A. M. Barnard was one of the pseudonyms used by Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), the American novelist, short story writer, reform-minded author, and one of the most enduring figures in nineteenth-century American literature. Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and raised in Concord, Massachusetts, Alcott grew up among Transcendentalist thinkers and reformers, including her father Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and others connected with the intellectual life of New England. Her family's financial instability, idealism, and unconventional education shaped both her ambition and her practical understanding of women's limited choices.Alcott is best known for Little Women, the beloved novel of the March sisters, but her career was far broader and more varied than that single classic suggests. Before and alongside her domestic fiction, she wrote thrillers, sensation stories, Gothic tales, melodramas, and psychologically charged works under pseudonyms such as A. M. Barnard. These stories often feature disguise, revenge, obsession, manipulation, social performance, and women who refuse the narrow roles assigned to them. They reveal an Alcott who was commercially sharp, emotionally bold, and fully aware of the darker energies beneath respectable family life.Her life also included work as a Civil War nurse, abolitionist sympathies, support for women's rights, and relentless effort to support her family through writing. Alcott's fiction moves between moral instruction, domestic realism, sentimental appeal, satire, and sensational excitement, making her one of the most versatile American writers of her century. Today, works such as Behind a Mask have helped restore attention to the fierce, ironic, and subversive side of her imagination, showing that the author of Little Women also understood ambition, performance, gendered power, and the dangerous uses of charm.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

"Six generations of readers have found in the story of the March family universal truths about girls, families and growing up." -The Guardian "A Natural source of stories...she is, and is to be the poet of children." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "The novelist of children...the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom."-Henry James Little Men is the second book in Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" trilogy of children's books centered around the activities of the March's, a progressive transcendental New England family. In this novel, a six month period of time during the late 1800's is recounted in the life of Jo Bhaer (née March) at the experimental school she runs with her German husband. A warm and heartfelt classic, Little Men is a delightful novel about the bonds and trust within friendship and family. When a poor orphan boy, Nat, is dropped on the stairs of Plumfield Estate School he is welcomed with open arms. The school is a unique and loving environment for Nat. He is encouraged in his musical talents and is encouraged to explore patience and the virtues of unity through nursery theater. When Dan, an old friend of Nat's arrives at the school, the tranquility of Plumfield is threatened. Through each student who joins the school, Alcott brilliantly portrays the experiences and the lessons learned. With its deceptively simple plot, the adventures and growth of the thirteen boys and two little girls is a beautifully realistic rendering of personal responsibility in the lives of young children. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Little Men is both modern and readable.

Recenzii

'It takes so little to make a child happy, that it is a pity in a world full of sunshine and pleasant things, that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands, or lonely little hearts.'
Jo March - now Mrs Bhaer - is married, and the couple have set up Plumfield, a boarding school for orphans. With twelve boys to care for, as well as their own two sons, the Bhaers rarely have a minute to themselves, but though they are busy, they are happy and fulfilled, guiding their young charges with wisdom and compassion. With so many lively children, though, it takes the support of the whole March family to prevent the boys' mischievous scrapes from leading to full-scale disasters.

Six generations of readers have found in the story of the March family universal truths about girls, families and growing up
The best boys - in the literary sense - that we have ever come across
Louisa May Alcott is the only author who remains both popular and literary today ... Little Women was widely read, but its sequel Little Men even more so, perhaps because it was checked out by boys, too
The novelist of children ... the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom
