Une infirmière, chargée de s'occuper d'une jeune fille considérée comme folle, découvre que l'état de sa malade est dû à de sombres secrets de famille.

Secrets de famille

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

Un ultimo, preziosissimo regalo dell'autrice di Piccole donne a lettrici e lettori di ogni etàIn questo terzo volume di racconti, uscito a Boston nel 1889, pochi mesi dopo la morte dell'autrice, Alcott accantona l'aspetto fantastico che aveva in parte caratterizzato le storie precedenti, e si concentra con sguardo attento e penetrante sulle piccole gioie, i dolori, le speranze e le delusioni di bambine e bambini delle classi più disagiate, in un'America fortemente industrializzata e disuguale, dove le sacche del disagio e dell'ignoranza sembrano espandersi, nelle città come nelle campagne. Con la sua sensibilità etica e sociale, l'autrice compone in questo volume degli « schizzi » di vita, liberandosi dal retaggio del buon vecchio Dickens per entrare nel cuore e nella mente dei suoi piccoli protagonisti. Ecco allora il peso della miseria e del lavoro minorile che logora anche l'attesa dei giorni di festa, ma al tempo stesso rilancia la generosa inventiva dei ragazzini poveri (Un tacchino di Natale); il miracolo terreno di un'assistenza mirata e caritatevole che ridona la luce e la gioia di vivere a una bambina colpita dalla cecità (L'allodola cieca); il romanzo di un giovane povero che sogna un futuro migliore e il cui talento viene sfruttato sordidamente da benefattori imbroglioni (Musica e maccheroni); i capricci dei bambini ricchi, deviati a fin di bene dalla lezione della realtà o dalle sagge memorie dei nonni (Il borsellino rosso, Lettino di bambola); ma anche il modernissimo ritratto di piccole donne in fiore, di varia estrazione sociale e culturale, che si confrontano, si scontrano, solidarizzano, con la voglia crescente di un'educazione e un'indipendenza tutta al femminile (Il segreto di Sophie).

Storie di Natale. Terzo volume

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.

Good Wives

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.

Les Quatre Filles du docteur March

On est en Amérique, en pleine guerre de Sécession. Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy : quatres jeunes américaines d'autrefois, très différentes, mais qui s'aiment bien;Papa est à la guerre, on n'est pas riche, et la vie est parfois difficile. Qu'importe, chacun travaille, Maman fait des miracles. On rit beaucoup chez les March, on pleure quelquefois, les discussions sont passionnées et les aventures ne manquent pas, surtout avec Jo, ce garçon manqué, qui ne fait rien comme tout le monde.

Les Quatre Filles Du Docteur March

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

L'infatigable Jo March a enfin la vie dont elle rêvait. Sa grande maison - presque aussi grande que son cour - est toujours ouverte aux enfants défavorisés. Que d'aventures, que de petits drames, que de situations drôles et cocasses ! Quand une bonne douzaine de jeunes garçons vivent ensemble sous la houlette d'une femme telle que Jo, on ne risque guère de s'ennuyer !
