Little Women de Louisa M. Alcott

Little Women

Autor Louisa M. Alcott Ilustrat de Norman Little
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2018 – vârsta până la 12 ani

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 scurtă

Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books rapidly over several months at the request of her publisher.The novel follows the lives of four sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March-detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. 3] 4]:202 Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers demanded to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume (entitled Good Wives in the United Kingdom, although this name derived from the publisher and not from Alcott). It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 in a single work entitled Little Women. Alcott also wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity." 5]:200 Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth," but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well." According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters. 5]:199 The book has been adapted for film twice as silent films, and four times with sound, in 1933, 1949, 1978 and 1994. Four television series were made, including two in Britain in the 1950s and two anime series in Japan in the 1980s. A musical version opened on Broadway in 2005. An American opera version in 1998 has been performed internationally and filmed for broadcast on US television in 2001......... Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys, is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1871. The novel reprises characters from Little Women and is considered by some the second book in an unofficial Little Women trilogy, which is completed with Alcott's 1886 novel Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men." It tells the story of Jo Bhaer and the children at Plumfield Estate School. It was inspired by the death of Alcott's brother-in-law, which reveals itself in one of the last chapters, when a beloved character from Little Women passes away. It has been adapted to a 1934 film, a 1940 film, a 1998 film, a television series, and a Japanese animated television series.The book recounts six months in the life of the students at Plumfield, a school run by Professor Friedrich and Mrs. Josephine Bhaer. The idea of the school is first suggested at the very end of part two of Little Women, when Jo inherited the estate from her Aunt March. The story begins with the arrival of Nat Blake, a shy young orphan who used to earn a living playing the violin. We are introduced to the majority of the characters through his eyes. There are ten boys at the school already; Nat, and later his friend Dan, join them, and soon after Nan arrives as companion for Daisy, the only girl. Jo's sons Rob and Teddy are younger than the others and are not counted among the pupils, nor are the two girls, Daisy and Nancy. ... Louisa May Alcott ( November 29, 1832 - March 6, 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).

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.
