Little Women

An earnest and touching novel about the childhood and youth of four sisters. The Civil War has begun in America, the head of the March family has gone to the front, and all household responsibilities have fallen on the shoulders of his wife and daughters. The eldest sister, sixteen-year-old Margaret, is a feminine and romantic beauty with wonderful manners. Jo is a true tomboy in a skirt, fifteen years old, and she climbs trees, runs races with her friends, skates, and might even get into a fight. Thirteen-year-old Beth is a shy and timid girl with a kind heart, an absolute angel and the family's favorite. The youngest is twelve; both 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 difficulties, experience sorrows and joys, dream of the future, and go through the challenging journey 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, extraordinary commercial success, and the love of every new generation of readers.
