en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2021

În lumina caldă a căminului familiei March, descoperim o atmosferă de o onestitate emoționantă, unde sărăcia și greutățile războiului sunt îndulcite de legăturile de nezdruncinat dintre patru surori. Observăm cum Little Women nu este doar un roman pentru copii, ci o cronică a maturizării, surprinzând tranziția fragilă de la jocurile copilăriei la responsabilitățile vieții de adult. Imaginați-vă tensiunea domestică și morală din The Annotated Little Women, mutată într-un decor de secol XIX american, unde fiecare gest de sacrificiu contează. Suntem de părere că forța acestui text rezidă în diversitatea caracterelor: Meg, cea responsabilă; Jo, spiritul rebel și scriitoarea familiei; Beth, liniștea și bunătatea; și Amy, mezina ambițioasă. Spre deosebire de edițiile standard, acest volum din seria Collins Classics oferă o perspectivă academică și intimă asupra procesului de creație. Structura este îmbogățită de o secțiune vastă de anexe (Appendix A-D), care ghidează cititorul prin jurnalele lui Louisa May Alcott, corespondența sa și influențele literare care au modelat povestea, de la La Fontaine la Andersen. Poziționată ca pilon central al operei sale, această lucrare anticipează temele autonomiei feminine și ale datoriei familiale pe care autoarea le va explora ulterior în Little Men și Jo’s Boys. Găsim în această ediție nu doar narațiunea clasică, ci și „scrierile surorilor March”, oferind o profunzime rară universului ficțional. Este o lectură care echilibrează perfect nostalgia cu observația socială ascuțită.

Despre autor

Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) a fost o romancieră și poetă americană, figură centrală a mișcărilor pentru drepturile femeilor și aboliționism. Crescută într-un mediu intelectual efervescent sub îndrumarea părinților săi transcendențaliști, a fost influențată de figuri precum Thoreau și Emerson. Deși a scris inițial povestiri senzaționaliste sub pseudonim pentru a-și susține financiar familia, succesul răsunător a venit odată cu publicarea Little Women în 1868. Romanul, parțial autobiografic, reflectă experiențele sale din Orchard House, Massachusetts, și rămâne una dintre cele mai iubite opere ale literaturii universale.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the World's finest literature.

Your favourite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before; the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colours of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf.

This book has matching lined and blank journals (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.

Louisa May Alcott's Little Women follows the lives, loves and tribulations of four sisters (Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy) growing up during the American Civil War. The story is based on the childhood experiences Alcott shared with her real-life sisters, Anna, May and Elizabeth.

The March family live in a small house next door to the Laurence mansion, where young Theodore Laurence, known as Laurie, and his aged grandfather have only each other for company. Old Mr. Laurence is wealthy, and he indulges every wish of his grandson, but often Laurie is lonely. When the lamps are lit and the shades are up in the March house, he can see the four March sisters, with their mother in the center, seated around a cheerful fire. He learns to know them by name before he meets them, and, in his imagination, he almost feels himself a member of the family.

Alcott intricately explores the rich nuances of family and family relationships with each character. Avid Alcott readers often identify in themselves one of the four sisters at various phases in their own lives. It's a perfect story for Christmas, or any time of year; a fine example of Romanticism.

 

Descriere scurtă

"My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer." - J. K. Rowling "I read Little Women a thousand times. Ten thousand. I am no longer incognito, not even myself. I am Jo in her 'vortex'."-Cynthia Ozick "Jo has given generations of readers like ... me permission to try to become who we wished. She has helped us to recognize - and to live with, knowing we're not alone - the conflict between the writer's need for solitude and self-absorption and the yearning for the warmth of love." - Gail Mazur "a glimpse of my future self ... I identified myself passionately with Jo ... reading this novel gave me an exalted sense of myself." -- Simone de Beauvoir Louisa May Alcott ended Little Women (1868) with the words "So the curtain falls upon Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Whether it ever rises again, depends upon the reception given the first act of the domestic drama called Little Women." It was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers wanted to know more about the characters as they navigate a path between domestic obligations and personal growth. Alcott quickly completed a second volume, Good Wives (1869), and later Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). The novels follow the lives of the four March sisters-Meg, Beth, Jo and Amy, each very different: "Meg looked very like a rose herself, for all that was best and sweetest in heart and soul seemed to bloom into her face" "You are the gull, Jo, strong and wild, fond of the storm and the wind, flying far out to sea, and happy all alone." "I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I'm not afraid." - Beth "I may be mercenary, but I hate poverty, and don't mean to bear it a minute longer than I can help. One of us must marry well." -- Amy The four March sisters embody different aspects of the "All-American girl." The books have been beloved by generations of readers since they were first published. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) lived in New England. Many well-known writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow were her family's friends. Her father, Bronson Alcott, was an impractical otherworldly educationalist and so the family lived in relative poverty. Jo March is a semi-autobiographical portrait, and Louisa May Alcott's writing (most of it under the pen name of A. M. Barnard and only discovered in 1975) like Jo's, provided the funds to keep the family afloat. Alcott was an abolitionist and an advocate for women's rights. Numerous women writers, including J. K. Rowling, Cynthia Ozick, Simone de Beauvoir, Ursula K. Le Guin, Barbara Kingsolver Margaret Atwood and Maxine Hong Kingston, have been inspired by Little Women and Jo March. This edition includes 22 monochrome illustrations. It contains just Little Women, the novel that started it all. The Complete Little Women, containing the sequels as well, is available under the isbns 9781781397657 (paperback) and 9781781398029 (hardback).

Notă biografică

Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she also grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott's family suffered financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard, under which she wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888.

Recenzii

'I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.'
The four March sisters couldn't be more different: Meg, the eldest, is dutiful and patient; Jo is adventurous, with dreams of being a great writer; shy, musical Beth is the peacemaker; and headstrong Amy likes the finer things in life. They may not always get along, but with their father away in the Civil War and their mother struggling to make ends meet, the sisters have never needed each other more. Together, the girls navigate growing up - from first love to sibling rivalry, loss and marriage. Whatever comes their way, they know they can rely on each other.

I know I will remember this book for years to come and it will always feel as if it were almost yesterday that I read it, as it is a book to treasure and keep on a dusty bookshelf to pass on for generations
I try to get every girly girl to read this one because those four sisters are so real. Everybody's favourite is Jo, the tomboy who wants to be a writer
Deals with life's big questions - love and death, war and peace, and ambition versus family responsibility - in a way that is inspiring and realistic. Use a hankie as a bookmark - tears are guaranteed
The book is not so much a novel, in the Henry James sense of the term, as a sort of wad of themes and scenes and cultural wishes. It is more like the Mahabharata or the Old Testament than it is like a novel. And that makes it an extraordinary novel
Alcott's writing was elegant yet poignant and haunting at moments, and perfect for the era it was set in, whilst the sister's personalities were intricately described throughout the whole book. It gave you a sense of what it was like to be a normal family in the 1800's and subtly showed the feelings of each character
A beautiful heartwarming read
Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is as much a part of every girl's childhood as her first pair of ballet shoes and the Brothers Grimm
