Little Women

An honest and touching novel about the childhood and youth of four sisters. The Civil War has begun in America, and the head of the March family has gone to the front, leaving all domestic responsibilities on the shoulders of... his wife and daughters. The eldest sister, sixteen-year-old Margaret—feminine and romantic beauty with wonderful manners. Jo—a real tomboy in a skirt, she is fifteen, and she climbs trees, races with friends, skates, and might even get into fights. Thirteen-year-old Beth—shy and timid girl with a kind heart, a true angel and the favorite of the family. The youngest is twelve—positive and negative qualities are closely intertwined in Amy and are in a very fragile balance. The sisters are so different, so unique. But together they cope with hardships, experience sorrows and joys, dream of the future, and go through a difficult path of growing up. "Little Women" is one of the most famous works of classic American literature for youth. Its publication brought Louisa May Alcott unprecedented fame, remarkable commercial success, and the love of every new generation of readers.
