Informationen zum Autor Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) is a much beloved author of American literature, in particular the Little Women trilogy, centered on the semiautobiographical March family ( Little Women , Little Men , and Jo’s Boys ). Best known in her time for Little Women , An Old-Fashioned Girl , and Little Men , her obituary in the New York Times declared, “There was probably no writer among women better loved by the young than she.” John Matteson  was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Biography for Eden’s Outcasts and the Ann M. Sperber Prize for The Lives of Margaret Fuller . A Distinguished Professor of English at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, he lives in the Bronx. Klappentext Since its publication in 1868, the beloved children's classic Little Women, has been handed down from mother to daughter. It has inspired an opera, three films and a musical. In this lavish four-colour edition, renowned Alcott expert John Matteson brings unprecedented vibrancy to the book, to the March family it creates and to the Alcott family who inspired it. With numerous photographs taken for this edition, readers discover the extraordinary links between the real and the fictional family. Matteson's annotations bring us back in touch with the objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time. His introductory essays examine Little Women's pivotal place in children's literature and tell the story of Alcott herself, a tale every bit as captivating as her fiction. Zusammenfassung The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author.
