Маленькие женщины

by Louisa May Alcott

"Маленькие женщины" – семейная сага, повествующая о судьбах четырех сестер Марч – добросердечной красавицы Мег, талантливой фантазерки Джо, кроткой и нежной Бет и "сорванца в юбке" Эмми.

…Гражданская война идет далеко на Юге, но ее грозные отголоски достигли и дружной семьи небогатого провинциального пастора Марча – сам он ушел на фронт полковым священником, и жена с дочерьми, как и множество других американок, день за днем живут в страхе трагических известий. Однако никакая война не в силах помешать девочкам взрослеть и превращаться в юных девушек. Девушек с их обычными и трогательными девичьими мечтами и надеждами, радостями, горестями и, конечно, первой любовью…

About the author

Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet best known for writing the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many well-known intellectuals of the day, including Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Alcott's family suffered from 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 pen names such as A.M. Barnard, under which she wrote lurid short stories and sensation novels for adults that focused on passion and revenge.
Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts, and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. The novel was well-received at the time and is still popular today among both children and adults. It has been adapted for stage plays, films, and television many times.
Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She also spent her life active in reform movements such as temperance and women's suffrage. She died from a stroke in Boston on March 6, 1888, just two days after her father's death.
