Little Men

Louisa May Alcott

Sinopse

Little Men by Louisa May Alcott Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys, is a children's novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888), which was first published in 1871 by Roberts Brothers.

The book reprises characters from her 1868–69 two-volume novel Little Women, and acts as a sequel, or as the second book in an unofficial Little Women trilogy. The trilogy ends with Alcott's 1886 novel Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to Little Men.

Alcott's story recounts the life of Jo Bhaer, her husband, and the various children at Plumfield Estate School. Alcott's classic novel has been adapted to a 1934 film, a 1940 film, a 1998 film, a television series, and a Japanese animated television series.

Alcott's novel narrates six months in the life of the students at Plumfield, a school run by German Professor Friedrich and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Bhaer (née March). The idea of the school is first suggested at the very end of Little Women, Part Two, when Jo inherits Plumfield Estate from her late Aunt March.

Rovi - English - The Ember Eyed...

Ellis Sandlin

Rovi is a healthy Bengal Tiger living and hunting in a jungle in India. When chasing an animal for his dinner, he discovered a different world outside his territory- a small village with a mission church and orphanage. The sight of people and the smell of food cooking made him curious. The residents were frightened when they saw Rovi raise his head and roar at the unusual sight. A shot by a villager grazed Rovi's back. 
Rovi became very angry and decided to return the next evening to get revenge. The madder he got, the brighter his eyes shined until they became bright as coals of fire. 
On the path, his attention was drawn to a happy sound in the sky. Santa Claus was happy to see Rovi's eyes and asked him to guide him through the jungle. Anger left him and he was happy to run to the village. 
Santa introduced him to the villagers who welcomed him. His life changed when he became friends with Manbir, a young orphan boy, and they heard the story of the first Christmas from the missionary. 
As Rovi left the village, he roared and the villagers understood that he said, "Think Love!" 
In Rovi's next book, Rovi and Manbir have Christmas dinner with the village and share fun times.
