Sinopsis

In this celebrated collection, Louisa May Alcott presents an enduring exploration of family dynamics, personal growth, and gender roles through the lives of the March sisters. "Little Women" eloquently captures the trials and triumphs of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy as they navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence, societal expectations, and familial loyalty. The narrative intricately weaves realism with idealism, employing a rich, descriptive prose that conveys the sisters' emotional landscapes. The subsequent volumes, "Little Men" and "Jo's Boys," further broaden the scope, delving into themes of education, creativity, and the transition to adulthood, all while maintaining Alcott's characteristic warmth and humor, enhanced by over 200 original illustrations that bring the text to life. Louisa May Alcott, an outspoken advocate for women's rights and a keen observer of her contemporary society, drew upon her own experiences growing up in a transcendentally influenced household. Born into a literary family, Alcott's childhood was marked by poverty and resilience, factors that greatly influenced her characters'Äô struggles. Her progressive views on femininity and independence are vividly illustrated in her works, offering both a critique and celebration of 19th-century American life. This anthology is a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature and feminist themes, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives while experiencing the richness of Alcott's narrative world. Perfect for both longtime fans and new readers, it invites you into a vibrant exploration of love, ambition, and the innate strength of women.

    Mrs Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf, published on 14 May 1925, that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional upper-class woman in post-First World War England. It is one of Woolf's best-known novels. 
     
    The working title of Mrs Dalloway was The Hours. The novel began as two short stories, "Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street" and the unfinished "The Prime Minister". The book describes Clarissa's preparations for a party she will host in the evening, and the ensuing party. With an interior perspective, the story travels forwards and backwards in time, to construct an image of Clarissa's life and of the inter-war social structure. The novel addresses the nature of time in personal experience through multiple interwoven stories. 
     
    In October 2005, Mrs Dalloway was included on TIME Magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since its first issue in 1923. 
     
    Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. After her father's death in 1904, the Stephen family moved from Kensington to the more bohemian Bloomsbury, where, in conjunction with the brothers' intellectual friends, they formed the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, the couple founded the Hogarth Press, which published much of her work. They rented a home in Sussex and moved there permanently in 1940. Woolf had romantic relationships with women, including Vita Sackville-West, who also published her books through Hogarth Press. Both women's literature became inspired by their relationship, which lasted until Woolf's death. 
     
    A beautifully wrought audiobook exclusive treasure.

    The narrative begins with Pip's fateful encounter with an escaped convict, setting the stage for themes of ambition, morality, and transformation. In the opening of the novel, Pip wanders through a churchyard, reflecting on his family history as revealed by the tombstones. His innocent musings are abruptly interrupted by a terrifying confrontation with a convict who demands food and a file, instilling fear in Pip.  
    As Pip grapples with the fear of being caught stealing food for the convict and the horror of his surroundings, we are drawn into the bleak marshes that significantly shape his childhood.
