en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2019 – 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.

Notă biografică

Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) was brought up in Pennsylvania, USA. She turned to writing in order to supplement the family income and had many short stories published in magazines and newspapers. Then, in 1862, during the height of the American Civil War, Louisa went to Georgetown to work as a nurse, but she contracted typhoid. Out of her experiences she wrote Hospital Sketches (1864) which won wide acclaim, followed by an adult novel, Moods.

She was reluctant to write a children's book but then realized that in herself and her three sisters she had the perfect models. The result was Little Women (1868) which became the earliest American children's novel to become a classic

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Little Women is the triumphant novel by Louisa May Alcott that has inspired nearly all who've read it. The inspiration for several major motion pictures, miniseries, plays, and more, discover the fantastical adventures set about by the memorable March sisters the world has come to love.

Little Women tells the story of the four March sisters as they establish themselves through the various circumstances that life throws their way. There is Margaret "Meg" March, the eldest and commonly referred to as the most beautiful sister; Josephine "Jo" March, the main character of the story as well as the most strong and willful of the four; Elizabeth "Beth" March, the quiet and musical sister; and finally Amy, the youngest and most artistic. Growing up in a modest household, the priority for the March sisters was always to behave; the sisters were told to be kind and give back and to cast aside their own desires for the betterment of others. As the girls grow up however, each of the sisters discover that life doesn't always play by the rules, and sometimes, it just might be better to break them.

It's no wonder Little Women is as celebrated today as it was in the 19th century; it is a powerful literary reminder that gender is not what counts when it comes to making a difference in the world.

Now a major motion picture by award winning director Greta Gerwig, delight in the story that has captured the hearts of so many readers. With an eye-catching new cover, and a professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Little Women is not to be missed.

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
