內容簡介

正值南北戰爭時期,雖說是苦哈哈的生活,但馬區家的四姊妹總是為屋子裡帶來歡笑,大姊梅格溫文賢淑,二姊喬古靈精怪點子最多,三姊貝絲內向膽小但喜愛音樂,小妹艾美聰明調皮愛計較,雖然一家人並不富裕,但深知每個女兒個性的母親總能為女兒們帶來滿滿的力量,她們也分擔母親的辛勞,並祈禱戰場上的父親能早日歸來。她們的鄰居勞倫斯家雖然身分地位和經濟狀況優渥,卻也相當喜歡善良又親切的馬區一家,勞倫斯先生甚至將自己的鋼琴送給貝絲彈奏,而他的孫子羅利則和馬區家四姊妹成為最要好的朋友。

 

喬熱愛寫作,寫劇本,寫小說,並要大家一起配合演出,誇張有趣的劇情成為她們最棒的童年回憶;個性較成熟的梅格則開始參加社交活動,渴望擁有自己的家庭;個性內向不喜歡離家的貝絲最喜歡鋼琴,雖然膽怯但非常善良,而小妹艾美則一心嚮往變成有錢人,被他們的有錢親戚馬區姑姑寄予嫁入豪門的厚望,四姊妹截然不同的個性,在成長的過程裡互相影響牽動彼此,她們一路跌跌撞撞,有的選擇待在故鄉,有的走入婚姻,有的在夢想與實際間掙扎,但無論時間如何造化,唯一不變的是她們永遠擁有彼此,並活出各自精采的人生。

 

The Norton Library edition of Little Women features the complete first edition of 1868–69, along with a selection of original illustrations. Sarah Blackwood’s compelling introduction explores the biographical, intellectual, and artistic origins of Alcott’s novel, along with the extraordinary effect it has had on subsequent literature.

作者介紹
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.”
