Flower Fables

Nel mese di novembre, fra le colline del New Hampshire, fiocchi di neve e folate di vento preannunciano un freddo e lungo inverno. In un turbinio di pentole fumanti e pane da impastare, di mele da affettare e preziose spezie, la cucina della famiglia Bassett è in pieno fermento: al fuoco scoppiettante del camino, nell'aria carica di fragranti aromi, sono tutti indaffarati nei preparativi per il Giorno del Ringraziamento. Ma una notizia inaspettata porta la mamma e il papà lontano da casa, lasciando una squadra di ragazzini a occuparsi delle faccende domestiche. Tilly e Prue, le sorelle più grandi, prendono in mano la situazione: senza esperienza in cucina e con qualche imprevisto, riusciranno comunque a preparare una cena indimenticabile? "Un Ringraziamento vecchio stile" è una deliziosa storia d'altri tempi, che intenerisce, rallegra e tocca le corde dolci della nostalgia.

Un Ringraziamento vecchio stile

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.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Jo's Boys and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men" (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
This work is the third book in the Little Women trilogy by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1886. In the book Alcott returns to the familiar precincts of Plumfield. Ten years later, Jo's pupils have started to make their way in the world, and they find themselves tested: Josie longs to be an actress; Emil, now a sailor, is shipwrecked; Dan, out West, lands in prison; Nat, studying music in Germany, is tempted into living beyond his means. Faced with new obstacles, they look back on the lessons learned at home and begin to appreciate the real value of their Plumfield education. 
Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. She was an advocate of abolition, women's rights, and temperance.

Jo's Boys and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men" (Unabridged)

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 !

La grande famille de Jo March

Mondialement connue pour avoir écrit des livres pour la jeunesse, Louisa May Alcott empruntait divers pseudonymes pour mettre en scène des histoires de vengeance et de pouvoir dans lesquelles les femmes se libéraient des préjugés pour lutter contre la domination masculine. En cela l'héroïne de Derrière le masque (1866) ressemble à s'y méprendre à Lady Audley, l'un des personnages de Mary Elisabeth Braddon. On y découvre une femme dont le comportement angélique trompe le milieu de l'aristocratie, dans lequel elle s'est introduite.Ce roman ambigu et féroce, qui met en scène la vengeance et la revanche amoureuse et sociale d'une femme, se situe dans la lignée des thrillers de Wilkie Collins, Mary Elisabeth Braddon et Charles Dickens.

Derrière le masque

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)

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.
