Little Men

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, " grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. So begins one of the best-loved children's classics, Little Women. Coming of age in the North during the Civil War, the March sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy-experience great joy and tragic loss while becoming the true little women of the title. The novel is resonant with themes of friendship, feminism, and building strong character, which are explored through the sisters' relationships with their family, in particular their beloved Marmee, their friends, and their neighbours. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Little Women

A collection of nine stories, including "Silver Pitchers" and "Independence: A Centennial Love Story" by the author of "Little Women."

Silver Pitchers

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.

Les quatre filles du docteur Marsch

Adaptation d'un texte classique que l'enfant a intérêt à lire dans sa version intégrale. Cet album, supprimant tout suspense, risque fort d'en détourner son lecteur plutôt que de l'y inciter, tel que le souhaite l'éditeur. Illustration médiocre aux couleurs ternes. Pour piètres lecteurs qui ne recourront jamais à l'oeuvre.

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, " grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. 

"It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress. 

"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, " added little Amy, with an injured sniff. 

"We've got Father and Mother, and each other, " said Beth contentedly from her corner. 

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never, " but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.

Louisa May Alcott Collection

Trevlyn lands and Trevlyn gold,

Heir nor heiress e'er shall hold,

Undisturbed, till, spite of rust,

Truth is found in Trevlyn dust.

"This is the third time I've found you poring over that old rhyme. What is the charm, Richard? Not its poetry I fancy." And the young wife laid a slender hand on the yellow, time-worn page where, in Old English text, appeared the lines she laughed at.

Richard Trevlyn looked up with a smile and threw by the book, as if annoyed at being discovered reading it. Drawing his wife's hand through his own, he led her back to her couch, folded the soft shawls about her, and, sitting in a low chair beside her, said in a cheerful tone, though his eyes betrayed some hidden care, "My love, that book is a history of our family for centuries, and that old prophecy has never yet been fulfilled, except the 'heir and heiress' line. I am the last Trevlyn, and as the time draws near when my child shall be born, I naturally think of his future, and hope he will enjoy his heritage in peace."

The Mysterious Key and What It Opened

On est en Amérique, en pleine guerre de Sécession. Le docteur March est au front et sa petite famille doit survivre. Heureusement, les quatre sœurs March et leur mère forment un clan très uni qui affronte l'adversité avec courage et bonne humeur malgré tout.
