Sinossi

In "Little Women," Louisa May Alcott masterfully weaves a coming-of-age narrative centered around the lives of the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the novel captures both the hardships and joys of domestic life, showcasing Alcott's keen insight into the complexities of family dynamics and the societal roles of women in the 19th century. The book is imbued with a rich literary style that combines realism with elements of sentimentality, exemplifying the moral fervor characteristic of the era while providing a vivid portrayal of childhood and adolescence. With original illustrations, this edition enhances the reading experience, breathing life into the sisters' heartfelt struggles and aspirations. Louisa May Alcott, influenced by her own upbringing in a progressive household and her close-knit family relationships, crafted "Little Women" as an exploration of female identity and autonomy. Her personal experiences, including her service as a nurse during the Civil War, are intricately woven into the narrative, offering authenticity to the trials and triumphs of the March sisters. Alcott's vision transcended contemporary norms, aiming to inspire young women to pursue their dreams amidst societal expectations. This enduring classic is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, American history, or the complexities of familial love. Alcott's rich character development and poignant themes resonate through generations, making "Little Women" not just a tale of growing up, but a timeless celebration of resilience and sisterhood. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in this beautifully illustrated edition that honors the legacy of a truly remarkable author.

    Susan Keating Glaspell was born on July 1st, 1876 in Davenport, Iowa.  
     
    Glaspell, a precocious child, was an active student at Davenport High School.  By 18 she was earning a salary at the local newspaper as a journalist, and by 20 she was the author of a weekly 'Society' column.  
     
    At 21 she enrolled for Philosophy at Drake University, in Des Moines, where she excelled in debate competitions, and represented them at the state tournament.  
     
    After graduation, Glaspell again worked as a reporter, still a rare position for a woman, and assigned to cover the state legislature and murder cases. 
     
    At 24, after covering the conviction of a woman accused of murdering her abusive husband, Glaspell abruptly resigned and returned to Davenport, and a career writing fiction.  Her stories were published by periodicals, including Harper's and Munsey's.  
     
    In 1909, moving to Chicago she wrote her debut novel, ‘The Glory of the Conquered’. It was a best-seller. So too her 2nd and 3rd and to glowing reviews. 
     
    With her husband Glaspell founded the Provincetown Playhouse for plays that reflected contemporary issues. Her first play, ‘Trifles’ (1916), was based on the murder trial she covered as a young reporter and later adapted as the short story ‘A Jury of Her Peers’.  She wrote 12 plays over 7 years for the company. By 1918 Glaspell was considered one of America's most significant new playwrights. Despite its success theatre work did not make financial sense and she continued to submit short stories in order to support her and her husband during their years with the theater.  
     
    In 1931 her play, ‘Alison's House’, received the Pulitzer Prize.  She continued to write and now with themes increasingly based on her surroundings, on family life, and on theistic questions. 
     
    Susan Keating Glaspell died of viral pneumonia in Provincetown, Massachusetts on 28th July 1948.

    "This absolute gem of a novel sparkles with creativity."--Booklist starred review 
     
    It is 1903, and Lily Temple is a beautiful silent-film actress who spins fairy tales and plays frivolous roles in front of the cine-camera. But beneath the costumes and stage makeup is a woman with a quick wit, a murky past, and a tantalizing secret.  
     
    Underground investigator to the wealthy, Peter Driscoll has been tasked with locating the legendary Briarwood Teardrop, an exquisite sapphire that has been missing for years--and which Lily happens to be wearing beneath her gown. In order to stay close to her and unravel the mystery, Peter employs the enchanting actress's help on a case.  
     
    But as they are investigating together, Peter is also investigating Lily. The closer he gets to the truth, the more danger they face. And the closer he gets to Lily, the clearer it becomes that he needs her even more than she needs him. 
     
    "This is a fascinating look at silent film, the power of story, and God's pursuit of lost children."--Library Journal 
     
    "Rich with biblical allusions . . . Readers will be kept guessing through the many twists and turns."--Publishers Weekly
