Little Women

A sincere and touching novel about the childhood and youth of four sisters. The Civil War has broken out 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 of the sisters, sixteen-year-old Margaret, is a feminine and romantic beauty with excellent manners. Jo is a real tomboy in a skirt; she is fifteen and climbs trees, races with her friends, skates, and may even get into a fight. Thirteen-year-old Beth is a shy and timid girl with a kind heart, a real little angel and the darling of the whole family. The youngest is twelve—Amy’s positive and negative qualities are closely intertwined and exist in a very delicate balance. The sisters are so different, so unique. Yet together they cope with difficulties, experience sorrows and joys, dream of the future, and make their way through the difficult journey of growing up. "Little Women" is one of the most famous works of classic American literature for young people. Its publication brought Louisa May Alcott unprecedented fame, extraordinary commercial success, and the love of every new generation of readers.
