Little Men is a novel by Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1871. The novel reprises characters from Little Women and is considered  the second book of an unofficial Little Women trilogy, which is completed with Alcott's 1886 novel Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men". Little Men tells the story of Jo Bhaer and the children at Plumfield Estate School . Jo-now married to the good-natured Professor Bhaer, and with sons of her own-has become the unflappable matron of an extended family at Plumfield, a school the Bhaers have founded with Aunt March's legacy. 
Louisa May Alcott's overwhelming success dated from the appearance of the first part of Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, (1868) a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Part two, or Part Second, also known as Good Wives, (1869) followed the March sisters into adulthood and their respective marriages.
Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. She was an advocate of abolition, women's rights, and temperance.

Little Men - Unabridged with the original illustrations by Reginald B. Birch (includes Good Wives)

Surprenant : l'auteur des célèbres Quatre filles du Dr March écrivait secrètement des romans de genre sous pseudo masculin ! La femme de marbre est parue en roman-feuilleton dans un journal en 1865 et reprend tous les codes du genre, de la pauvre orpheline abandonnée au vaurien repenti. Mais Louisa May Alcott y ajoute une touche de modernité tout américaine :
Overdose et soupçon d'inceste...

La femme de marbre

Nel mese di novembre, fra le colline del New Hampshire, fiocchi di neve e folate di vento preannunciano un freddo e lungo inverno. In un turbinio di pentole fumanti e pane da impastare, di mele da affettare e preziose spezie, la cucina della famiglia Bassett è in pieno fermento: al fuoco scoppiettante del camino, nell'aria carica di fragranti aromi, sono tutti indaffarati nei preparativi per il Giorno del Ringraziamento. Ma una notizia inaspettata porta la mamma e il papà lontano da casa, lasciando una squadra di ragazzini a occuparsi delle faccende domestiche. Tilly e Prue, le sorelle più grandi, prendono in mano la situazione: senza esperienza in cucina e con qualche imprevisto, riusciranno comunque a preparare una cena indimenticabile? "Un Ringraziamento vecchio stile" è una deliziosa storia d'altri tempi, che intenerisce, rallegra e tocca le corde dolci della nostalgia.

Un Ringraziamento vecchio stile

Un grand classique indémodable de la littérature américaine. 
Ecrit à la fin du 19eme siècle, ce texte maintes fois traduit et maintes fois repris au cinéma, a été écrit par Louisa May Alcott. C?est l'histoire de quatre jeunes filles, la raisonnable Margaret (Meg), l'intrépide Joséphine (Jo), la charitable Elisabeth (Beth) et la douce Amélie (Amy). Elles vivent dans le Nord des USA avec leur mère et leur fidèle domestique appelée Hannah. Elles appartiennent à la classe moyenne de la société. L'histoire se passe pendant la Guerre de Sécession. Leur père, pasteur et nordiste est à la guerre. Autrefois, la famille March était une famille riche mais aujourd?hui la vie est dure pour les 4 s?urs.
Dans ce roman indémodable Louisa May Alcott s?est probablement peinte sous les trais de Jo, jeune fille non conventionnelle, aspirant à son indépendance et à une autre condition que celle d?une jeune fille résignée.
La traduction-adaptation proposée ici est celle de P.J Stahl, pseudonyme de Pierre-Jules Hetzel le célèbre éditeur de Jules Verne.
