Summary

Best known for the novels Little Women and Little Men, Louisa May Alcott brought the story of her feisty protagonist Jo and the adventures and misadventures of the March family to an entertaining, surprising, and bittersweet conclusion in Jo’s Boys. Beginning ten years after Little Men, Jo’s Boys revisits Plumfield, the New England school still presided over by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. Jo remains at the center of the tale, surrounded by her boys—including rebellious Dan, sailor Emil, and promising musician Nat—as they experience shipwreck and storm, disappointment and even murder. Popular for over a century, Alcott’s series still holds universal appeal with its powerful and affectionate depiction of family—the haven where the prodigal can always return, adversity is shared, and our dreams of being cherished, despite our flaws, come true. In this edition of Jo’s Boys, readers once again experience a treasured classic by one of America’s best-loved writers.

    Ivan Matveich, the most ordinary person you might hope to meet, is swallowed alive by a crocodile at a sideshow. Finding life inside the belly of the beast quite comfortable, he makes a home for himself there. His disquisitions on the state of the world from inside the crocodile make him quite a name for himself; while all the while the discussion rages outside as to whether the beast is going to be cut open to release him or not, its value as a sideshow attraction having massively increased owing to the presence of the human voice buried inside it. One of Jorge Luis Borges' seven most favourite stories.

    In the realm of classic literature, the name of Leslie Castle often occupies a quieter corner, overshadowed by the towering works of authors such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë. However, in the rich tapestry of literary history, Leslie Castle by Anne Isabella Thackeray (later known as Mrs. Ritchie) stands as a charming and insightful novella that deserves recognition for its unique narrative style, character development, and themes that resonate with readers even today. 
     
    First published in 1864 under the pseudonym "Ivan Turgénieff," Leslie Castle presents a fascinating blend of satire and social commentary, wrapped in a narrative that unfolds through a series of letters. This epistolary form allows readers a direct glimpse into the hearts and minds of the characters, shedding light on their innermost thoughts and emotions. Through this intimate narrative technique, Thackeray masterfully paints the vivid personalities of her characters, bringing them to life with remarkable depth. 
     
    At the heart of Leslie Castle are two cousins, Lady Lesley and Lady Theodosia, who serve as the primary narrators. Through their letters, readers gain insight into their contrasting personalities and worldviews. Lady Lesley, the elder cousin, is a sensible and practical woman, often portrayed as the voice of reason. In contrast, Lady Theodosia, the younger and more impulsive of the two, embodies the romantic and whimsical spirit. The dynamic between these two characters offers an engaging exploration of the tension between pragmatism and romanticism, a theme that resonates across generations.
