Marjorie's Three Gifts de Louisa May Alcott

Marjorie's Three Gifts

Louisa May Alcott

Two quite short books. The first features a 12-year-old girl called Marjorie who daydreams about wealth, happiness and a handsome prince, then finds herself meeting some unusual people (real or imaginary) who help her appreciate her circumstances better. Evidently a moral tale about being grateful and working hard, but nicely done. The same is true of the second book, 'Roses', which features the orphan Lizzie who struggles to survive, who meets the spoilt and wealthy Belle both in childhood and as they embark on adulthood. Contrasts are made without too much author explanation, and again the focus is on hard work and being thankful.

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.
