Little Men: Little Women Series

Autor Louisa May Alcott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2018
'The best boys - in the literary sense - that we have ever come across' SPECTATOR

'Little Women was widely read, but its sequel Little Men even more so, perhaps because it was checked out by boys, too' NEW YORK TIMES

'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.

'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

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.
