A Modern Cinderella is a collection of four short stories by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women. Like her more famous novels, Alcott tells stories of young women interacting with people and events from the late 1800s. A great addition to the Alcott library of stories.

A Modern Cinderella

L'Amérique de la guerre de Sécession. Le docteur March rejoint l'armée nordiste, laissant seules sa femme et ses quatre filles, quatre soeurs aux tempéraments et aux passions opposés. Meg est sentimentale, Beth adore la musique, Jo est à la fois garçon manqué et romancière en herbe, quant à la blonde Amy, c'est une vraie coquette. Les querelles ne vont pas manquer...Un univers féminin et le récit de la vie avec ses imprévus tantôt drôles, tantôt tragiques. Un roman certifié classique !Ce grand classique de la littérature est livré ici sous sa forme originale, fidèle à la toute première traduction française. L’ouvrage n’a pas vieilli, il aborde même des thématiques tout à fait actuelles… car s’il est connu comme un roman pour la jeunesse, c’est aussi et surtout une œuvre magistrale sur les difficultés d’élever des enfants dans un monde infiniment violent et incertain.

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

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

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.

Pendant la Guerre de Sécession, les quatre filles du Docteur March se retrouvent privées de leur père parti combattre aux côtés des Nordistes. Mme March et ses quatre filles doivent alors affronter les difficultés de la vie quotidienne et surtout la peur de ne plus jamais revoir le Dr. March. Malgré tout, c'est dans la joie et l'innocence que Meg, Jo, Beth et Amy vont découvrir ensemble les bonheurs et les déceptions de la vie.

Les quatre filles du Dr March

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.

Les quatre filles du docteur March

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

 'Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.'

 In mid-nineteenth-century Massachusetts, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March continue to encounter both joys and sorrows along life's path, as they journey into womanhood both close to home and further away. The highs and lows of the four young women's lives are shared with each other, and supported by the bond of their sisterhood.

 This second part of 'Little Women' - sometimes published in a single volume - contains all the warmth and charm for which Louisa May Alcott's writing is universally admired.
