Kaum ein Buch wurde jemals mit besserer Absicht veröffentlicht als "Kleine Frauen." Gerade weil es nicht "predigt", hat es seinen Weg in die Herzen von Millionen von Lesern gefunden. Ehrliche, kleine Mädchen, die danach streben, gut zu sein und ihre Bürden fröhlich zu tragen, schätzen dieses Buch seit Generationen; es hat ihnen einen besseren Blick für die kleinen Dinge des Lebens gegeben, die so sehr für das wahre Glück zählen; aber die glänzendsten Juwelen in diesem Buch sind die Strahlen der Mutterliebe, die durch es hindurchleuchten. Die Mädchen der Familie March lieben ihre Mutter, machen sie zu ihrer Vertrauten und wenden sich bei jeder Prüfung ihres Lebens an sie; sie ist Gefährtin, Freundin und Lehrerin, und so manches Mädchen und so manche Mutter hat schon ihre Lehren aus den schönen Beispielen gezogen, die diese "Kleinen Frauen" ihnen gegeben haben. Louisa May Alcott hat viele bewegende Geschichten geschrieben, aber "Kleine Frauen" steht an erster Stelle - im Regal und in den Herzen ihrer Bewunderer.
Le quattro sorelle March – la giudiziosa Meg, la ribelle Jo, la dolce Beth, la vanitosa Amy – si preparano a diventare grandi, inseguendo speranze e ambizioni sullo sfondo di un’America scossa dalla guerra di Secessione. È sufficiente la prima pagina di Piccole donne per immergersi nella calda atmosfera della loro casa: il chiacchiericcio complice, i litigi, gli abbracci, le risate. E allora entriamo in casa March, sediamoci accanto a Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, le quattro ragazze più moderne che siano mai esistite, e ascoltiamo le loro voci. Pagina dopo pagina i loro capricci, le loro vittorie, le loro amicizie, le loro difficoltà, i loro sogni saranno anche i nostri.

The two American classics here together in one volume, Little Men and Jo's Boys, are worthy sequels to Little Women, one of the best-loved children's stories of all time, and its continuation, Good Wives. In Little Men, Louisa May Alcott takes up the story of the everyday dramas and exploits of the naughty but easy-going boys at Plumfield, now a boarding-school run by Professor Bhaer and his lovable madcap wife Jo, the most fiery and free-spirited of the four March sisters. Jo's Boys revisits the one-time members of that 'wilderness of boys' ten years later when they are making their ways in the world with varying degrees of triumph and disaster.
