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

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.

Dix ans se sont écoulés depuis Le rêve de Jo March. À côté de Plumfield se dresse désormais une véritable petite université dans laquelle on vient de loin pour étudier. Si les garçons de Jo sont de solides gaillards égaillés de par le monde, ils n'oublient pas pour autant Plumfield ni bien sûr Mme Jo, plus que jamais de bon conseil dans les moments délicats : ceux où les coeurs encore tendres connaissent leurs premières épreuves !

Dimenticate le piccole borghesi per bene. La Alcott intinge la sua penna nell'inchiostro più nero e torbido che usa, con la maestria che l'ha resa nota ed amata a generazioni di giovinette e non solo, per narrare storie in cui si intrecciano l'inganno, il mistero, le passioni più scabrose, i vizi proibiti e le paure inconfessabili. In questa antologia di racconti, alcuni scritti sotto pseudonimo e per lungo tempo non attribuiti alla vera autrice, la Alcott dimostra, se ce ne fosse ancora bisogno, di essere una scrittrice capace di sondare ogni aspetto dell'animo umano.
