Reihe: The English edition

Parts I and II of the American classic in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing. New England in the 1860s: The sisters Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy closely stick together because their father is away as a pastor in the American Civil War and the family is not financially secure. The four very different women live through their youth with everything it offers and expects of them – boys from the neighbourhood and moralizers, theater trips and Sunday school, happiness and suffering. »Little Women« tells the story of the winding paths on which the four young women conquer their place in the world.

Über Autor(innen)

Alcott, Louisa May
Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Together with her siblings, she grew up in poor circumstances. She later earned her living as a teacher, seamstress and housekeeper, among other things. However, her enthusiasm for writing began at an early age, and she sometimes published under a pseudonym (A. M. Barnard). "Little Women", which is based on her own childhood experiences, is one of the most successful books for young people in the English-speaking world. It was translated into 27 languages and brought her worldwide fame. She died in Massachusetts on March 6, 1888.
