"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, " grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. 

"It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress. 

"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, " added little Amy, with an injured sniff. 

"We've got Father and Mother, and each other, " said Beth contentedly from her corner. 

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never, " but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.

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

Durante un periodo di forzata immobilità, Louisa May Alcott scrisse sette storie ispirate ai fiori. Intrecciando questa meravigliosa ghirlanda per suo diletto e per le sue ragazze, raccontò dell'amore per i buoni libri e per le altre persone, della ricerca della pace e della crescita personale, di quei valori, insomma, sui quali basò la propria esistenza e che volle condividere con le sue lettrici. Mostrò loro come fosse possibile migliorare la propria personalità, e di conseguenza il mondo, con semplici gesti quotidiani, nella scelta delle proprie letture, nella vita familiare o nell'incontro con le altre persone. Dopo oltre un secolo questa straordinaria scrittrice ha ancora molto da insegnare e le sue storie continuano a essere avvincenti, a commuovere, a far riflettere. La prima edizione del libro risale al 1887 e questa ne rappresenta la prima traduzione italiana.

"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.
