    Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read It is no surprise that Little Women, the adored classic of four devoted sisters, was loosely based on Louisa May Alcott’s own life. In fact, Alcott drew from her own personality to create a heroine unlike any seen before: Jo, willful, headstrong, and undoubtedly the backbone of the March family. Follow the sisters from innocent adolescence to sage adulthood, with all the joy and sorrow of life in between, and fall in love with them and this endearing story. Praised by Madeleine Stern as “a book on the American home, and hence universal in its appeal,” Little Women has been an avidly read tale for generations.

    Kaum ein Buch wurde jemals mit besserer Absicht veröffentlicht als "Kleine Frauen." Gerade weil es nicht "predigt", hat es seinen Weg in die Herzen von Millionen von Lesern gefunden. Ehrliche, kleine Mädchen, die danach streben, gut zu sein und ihre Bürden fröhlich zu tragen, schätzen dieses Buch seit Generationen; es hat ihnen einen besseren Blick für die kleinen Dinge des Lebens gegeben, die so sehr für das wahre Glück zählen; aber die glänzendsten Juwelen in diesem Buch sind die Strahlen der Mutterliebe, die durch es hindurchleuchten. Die Mädchen der Familie March lieben ihre Mutter, machen sie zu ihrer Vertrauten und wenden sich bei jeder Prüfung ihres Lebens an sie; sie ist Gefährtin, Freundin und Lehrerin, und so manches Mädchen und so manche Mutter hat schon ihre Lehren aus den schönen Beispielen gezogen, die diese "Kleinen Frauen" ihnen gegeben haben. Louisa May Alcott hat viele bewegende Geschichten geschrieben, aber "Kleine Frauen" steht an erster Stelle - im Regal und in den Herzen ihrer Bewunderer.

    The two American classics here together in one volume, Little Men and Jo's Boys, are worthy sequels to Little Women, one of the best-loved children's stories of all time, and its continuation, Good Wives. In Little Men, Louisa May Alcott takes up the story of the everyday dramas and exploits of the naughty but easy-going boys at Plumfield, now a boarding-school run by Professor Bhaer and his lovable madcap wife Jo, the most fiery and free-spirited of the four March sisters. Jo's Boys revisits the one-time members of that 'wilderness of boys' ten years later when they are making their ways in the world with varying degrees of triumph and disaster.

    Duplicate of ISBN 060355055X.In "Little Women" when we first meet the family, they are very poor and Mr March is far away in the army. Meg, the eldest, is sixteen when the story begins. Jo is fifteen, "tall, thin and brown", her hair is her one beauty. Beth, at thirteen, is shy and peaceful, rarely disturbed, while Amy, the youngest, is rather vain, and, in her own opinion, "a most important person". As the story develops we enjoy reading about the way the girls enjoy their lives in spite of their poverty; they meet 'the boy next door', who becomes a great friend, and his tutor Mr Brooke."Good Wives" begins with a wedding, the war is over, and the March family has changed, but is still together. By the end of this book we have seen Meg coping with her own home and the birth of her children. Jo has been to New York where she meets professor Bhaer. Amy, too, marries."Little Men" shows how the girls' families develop, how their lives change and how, in particular, Jo and her professor have their hearts' desire and run 'Plumfield', the boys' school where we meet Nat, Dan and many other characters.The end of the trilogy shows the March family much extended but happy and content with its destiny. The harvest is a good one.
