Les Quatre Filles du docteur March

Après avoir mis en scène, dans Derrière le masque, une femme avide de pouvoir et sans scrupules qui parvient à ses fins grâce à un stratagème, Louisa May Alcott nous introduit ici dans une famille déchirée par des secrets inavouables. Pris dans un imbroglio de tromperies en cascade dont ils sont à la fois les instigateurs et les victimes, la narratrice et le héros louvoient entre haine, désir de vengeance, folie et suicide. Mais jouer avec la confiance d'autrui mène plus loin qu'on ne le croit. Et, contrairement aux idées reçues, l'amour n'est pas toujours salvateur : il peut parfois se transformer en piège fatal...

Secrets de famille

"Please, sir, is this Plumfield?" asked a ragged boy of the man who opened the great gate at which the omnibus left him.

"Yes. Who sent you?"

"Mr. Laurence. I have got a letter for the lady."

"All right; go up to the house, and give it to her; she'll see to you, little chap."

The man spoke pleasantly, and the boy went on, feeling much cheered by the words. Through the soft spring rain that fell on sprouting grass and budding trees, Nat saw a large square house before him, a hospitable-looking house, with an old-fashioned porch, wide steps, and lights shining in many windows. Neither curtains nor shutters hid the cheerful glimmer; and, pausing a moment before he rang, Nat saw many little shadows dancing on the walls, heard the pleasant hum of young voices, and felt that it was hardly possible that the light and warmth and comfort within could be for a homeless "little chap" like him.

Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women, Good Wives and the sequels Little Men and   Jo's Boys. The first part of Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy (1868),   is a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood 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. Little Men (1871) detailed Jo's life at the Plumfield School that   she founded with her husband Professor Bhaer at the conclusion of Part Two of   Little Women. And Jo's Boys (1886) completed the "March Family   Saga". Alcott made women's rights integral to her stories, and her   fiction became her "most important feminist contribution" - even considering   all the efforts Alcott made to help facilitate women's rights during her   lifetime.

The Complete Little Women Series: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys

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.

"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. A commercial success upon publication in 1868, Little Women was based loosely on Alcott's experience growing up with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. It was originally published in two volumes and was followed by two sequels, Little Men, published in 1871, and Jo's Boys, published in 1886, and has been adapted for the stage, film, and animation.
