Little Women

Más información sobre el libro

This Deluxe Edition of Alcott's beloved novel features a foreword by National Book Award-winning author and musician Patti Smith. Nominated as one of America’s most-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read, this classic transcends age, appealing to both adults and young readers. The story of the March sisters is a quintessential American feminist narrative, highlighting the struggle between societal expectations and the pursuit of personal freedom. Readers often find it hard to choose a favorite among the sisters: independent Jo, gentle Beth, kind Meg, or artistic Amy, the youngest. Set against the backdrop of Civil War New England, the tale of these four "little women" and their wise mother, Marmee, navigating hardships and adventures, became an instant success upon its 1868 publication and has remained cherished for generations.
