Mit dem Namen Louisa May Alcott wird gewiss zuallererst ihr mehrfach verfilmter Bestseller Little Women (1868) in Verbindung gebracht. Auch die drei Folgebände der Familiensaga waren ein großer Erfolg. Weniger bekannt ist, dass Alcott sich auch in der populären Erwachsenenliteratur versuchte, Lyrik und Essays sowie Kurzprosa verfasste. Neben den Hospital Sketches (1863), die von ihren Erlebnissen als Krankenschwester während der Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs künden, ist vor allem der autofiktionale, äußerst humorvolle Text Transcendental Wild Oats (Transzendentaler Wildhafer, 1873) zu erwähnen, der auf Alcotts Kindheitserfahrungen als Zehnjähriger zurückgeht, als ihr Vater Bronson zusammen mit dem Engländer Charles Lane eine landwirtschaftliche Kommune nach streng transzendentalistischer Richtlinie der Selbstversorgung ins Leben rief. Die Überheblichkeit der Männer und die Ausbeutung der Frauen werden ebenso thematisiert, wie das klägliche Scheitern der utopischen Vision parodiert wird. Die kurze Erzählung Perilous Play (Gefährliches Spiel, 1869) indes, über ein Picknick junger Erwachsener im Sommer auf einer Insel, wobei sie mit dem Genuss von Haschisch in Berührung kommen, zählt zu den gewagtesten und freizügigsten Geschichten, die Alcott geschrieben hat.

In diesem Band schließt die Schriftstellerin die Geschichten um ihre amüsanten Charaktere aus den drei Bänden der “Kleinen Frauen”. Jo, die Vertrauensperson für alle, zeigt erneut ihr warmes Herz, ihr hitziges Temperament und ihr Mitgefühl. Der Fokus liegt auf den Leben der Plumfield-Jungs, die in “Kleine Männer” eingeführt wurden, insbesondere Tommy, Emil, Demi, Nat, Dan sowie Professor Bär und Jos Söhne Rob und Teddy. Auch andere Charaktere wie Josie und Bess, Cousinen von Demi und Daisy, treten häufig auf. Die Handlung spielt zehn Jahre nach “Kleine Männer”, als Dolly und George aufs College gehen und gegen Versuchungen wie Snobismus und Arroganz kämpfen. Tommy, der Medizinstudent werden möchte, versucht, seine Jugendliebe Nan zu beeindrucken, verliebt sich jedoch "versehentlich" in Dora und erkennt schließlich, dass er mit ihr glücklicher ist. Auch die anderen Charaktere müssen lernen, mit den Herausforderungen des Erwachsenwerdens umzugehen. Louisa May Alcott erhebt keinen Anspruch auf literarischen Stil, und diese Geschichte bleibt in diesem Punkt einzigartig wie ihre vorherigen Werke. Wer das Ende der March-Familie erfahren möchte, kommt um dieses Werk nicht herum.

Über die Freundschaft von vier Schwestern »Little Women« – das sind die vier Schwestern March, und es ist die Geschichte einer Schriftstellerin, die nach Unabhängigkeit strebte. Louisa May Alcott legte viel von sich selbst in Jo, die zweitälteste der vier Schwestern, und lässt auch sie von einer Karriere als Schriftstellerin träumen. Zwar ist das – wie so vieles andere – für eine Frau in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nicht leicht, doch Jo, Meg, Beth und Amy gehen ihren Weg – gemeinsam und doch jede für sich. Mit der Geschichte über die vier ungleichen Schwestern schuf Alcott einen Welterfolg. Das emanzipatorische Werk ist ein Klassiker der US-amerikanischen Literatur und inspirierte Schriftstellerinnen wie J. K. Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir, Margaret Atwood und Elena Ferrante. In diesem Band finden sich Teil I und Teil II in vollständiger Neuübersetzung. Mit einer kompakten Biographie der Autorin.

Jazyková úroveň B1 - B2. Podle příběhu Louisy May Alcottové.

Keine unserer Leserinnen und keiner unserer Leser dürfte die beiden Bände der "Kleine Frauen" und die warmherzige, kluge, manchmal auch grässliche Jo vergessen haben. Sie hat unsere Zuneigung gewonnen, und Miss Alcott hat gut daran getan, sie zum Hauptakteur des dritten Teils zu machen. "Kleine Frauen" ist tatsächlich fast perfekt geschrieben, und der große Erfolg, den es erreicht hat, ist nicht nur ein Triumph guter Literatur über schlechte, sondern auch ein Beweis dafür, dass es Bücher gibt, in denen kleine Leser noch ihre Ideale und Gefährten finden können. Der zweite Teil dieses großartigen Werkes endete mit Meg, die sich ihren Pflichten als Mutter einer Familie widmete, Amy, die Laurie geheiratet hat, und Jo, die mit Professor Bär glücklich ist, aber immer noch überlegt, wie sie der Welt von Nützen sein könnte. "Kleine Männer" bringt uns zurück in die Leben all dieser jungen Frauen und führt uns außerdem ein in die Schule auf Plumfield, wo mittlerweile etwas ein Dutzend von "Jos Jungs" wohnen. Der Leser nimmt teil an den lustigen Erfahrungen aber auch den täglichen Sorgen dieser Jungs, die bald von ein paar Mädchen unterstützt werden, die Jo ebenfalls aufgenommen hat …

Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman's work," including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl's book" her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America. iBoo World's Best Classics iBoo Press releases World's Best Classics, uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.

Впервые опубликованное в 1868 году в США, это произведение было переведено более чем на 50 языков и положено в основу шести фильмов, четырех телесериалов, нескольких опер и спектаклей. История семейства Марч, в котором подрастают четыре дружные, но непохожие друг на друга сестры, заключает в себе узнаваемые перипетии юности, взросления, дружбы и любви.Российским читателям "Маленькие женщины" известны по переложению романа для среднего школьного возраста, которое, однако, не отражает всех художественных достоинств текста. В настоящем издании впервые публикуется новый перевод Ирины Бессмертной с чутким соблюдением той языковой манеры, которая была присуща самому автору книги. Нарочитая неправильность речи ряда персонажей, характерные для той эпохи жаргонизмы, а также придуманные героинями и используемые в домашнем обиходе слова придают тексту аромат XIX века. Такой изобретательный подход к переводу романа весьма расширяет его аудиторию и способен заинтересовать как юных, так и взрослых читателей.
