Little Men

Louisa May Alcott

Sinossi

"It takes a long time to grow a soul, but it's a fascinating process."

Jo March has found her true calling. Alongside her husband, Professor Bhaer, she has opened the doors of Plumfield, an estate turned school where "naughty" boys are given the freedom to grow, learn, and find their better selves. Moving away from the rigid discipline of the Victorian era, Plumfield is a place of pillow fights, gardening, and deep moral lessons, where every child—from the street-smart orphan Nat to the rebellious "wild boy" Dan—is treated with the love and respect they deserve.

A New Generation of the March Family: While Jo remains the beating heart of the story, Little Men introduces a delightful new cast. Watch as Meg's twins, the studious Demi and the domestic Daisy, navigate their childhoods alongside a ragtag group of students. The novel captures the humor and heartache of growing up, proving that the lessons learned on the playground are often as important as those learned from books.

The Philosophy of Kindness: Alcott draws on her own transcendentalist upbringing to create a story that championed progressive education long before it was mainstream. Little Men is a celebration of character-building, gender equality, and the redemptive power of a second chance. It remains a comforting, essential read for anyone who believes that every child has a "gold mine" of potential waiting to be discovered.

Step back into the world of the Marches. Purchase "Little Men" today and experience the joy of Plumfield.

Russian Short Story The - Volume...

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai...

The Russian novel has a reputation that is immense, both in narrative and in length.  Unquestionably though the ideas, themes and characters make many novels rightly revered as world class, as icons of literature. 
 
Perhaps an easier way to enjoy a wider selection of the Russian heritage, with its varied and glorious literary talents, is with the short story.  These gems sparkle and beguile the mind with their characters and narrative, exploring facets of society and the human condition that more Western authors somehow find more difficult to navigate, or to explore, explain and relate to.   
 
The Russian short story is, in many respects, in a genre of its own.  It is at its captivating best whether it’s an exploration of real-life experiences, through fantasy and fables and on to total absurdity. 
 
In a land so vast it is unsurprising that it is a world almost unto itself. Cultures and landscapes of differing hues are packed together bound only by the wilful bonds and force of Empire. 
 
The stories in this collection traverse the decades where one might be a serf under an absolute monarch, and the reality of that was pretty near to slavery, into an emancipation of sorts in the fields, or towns under the despotic will of landowners and the rich into the upheavals of Empire and then the overthrow of the ruling class and its replacement by the communists, who promised equality for all and delivered a society where the down-trodden remained the lowest yet vital cog of the state machine and its will.  
 
Whilst Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Chekhov are a given in any Russian collection we also explore and include Andreyev, Korolenko, Turgenev, Blavatsky and many others to create a world rich and dense across a sprawling landscape of diverse people, riddled with the class and unfairness in perhaps some of the most turbulent times that Russia has ever experienced.
