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.

Now a major motion picture starring Timothée Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson and Meryl Streep. Recognized as one of the best-loved classic children's stories of all time, Little Women is an utterly beguiling novel. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition includes the sequel, Good Wives, which picks up the girls' stories three years on, and features an afterword by publisher Anna South. Louisa May Alcott tells the story of the courageous and ingenious March sisters; Jo, the independent tomboy; Beth, who is delicate and loving; pretty and kind Meg; and beautiful, precocious Amy, the baby of the family. Their devoted mother Marmee, recently impoverished, must care for them alone whilst their father is away serving as a chaplain in the Civil War.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), romancière américaine, n'eut pas une enfance facile : très vite, elle et ses soeurs durent travailler à différents métiers afin de subvenir aux besoins de la famille. Même sans fréquenter l'école, elle était fille d'un père philosophe et a été l'apprentie de deux grands penseurs de l'époque : Henry Thoreau et Ralph Waldo. Une fois adulte, elle défend l'émancipation des femmes et l'abolition de l'esclavage. Écrit pour les jeunes filles, son plus grand succès, « Les Quatre Filles du docteur March » (1880), a été adapté au cinéma plusieurs fois, notamment dans la version de 1994 avec Winona Ryder et la version de 2019 avec Saoirse Ronan et Timothée Chalamet.
