Sinopse

Louisa May Alcott's "The Complete Little Women Series" encompasses a rich tapestry of narratives centered around the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—as they navigate the tumultuous terrain of adolescence, class dynamics, and familial love in 19th-century America. Written in a semi-autobiographical style, Alcott melds realism with a sentimental narrative structure that highlights moral lessons and the importance of individual growth. The series serves as both a reflection of contemporary societal norms and a critique of gender roles, encapsulating the challenges faced by women striving for autonomy in a patriarchal society. Louisa May Alcott, herself a member of a transcendentalist family and a consequent proponent of women's rights, drew inspiration from her own experiences and those of her sisters. Her upbringing in a progressive environment, influenced by notable figures like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, imbued her prose with themes of courage, compassion, and self-identity. These elements are vividly explored throughout the series, revealing Alcott's deep understanding of her characters and the sociocultural forces that shape them. Readers seeking poignant reflections on sisterhood, personal ambition, and social expectation will find "The Complete Little Women Series" a compelling yet heartwarming exploration of life's complexities. Alcott's timeless work continues to resonate, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection, inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys of growth and resilience.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume we examine Russians authors of the 20th Century.  Whether it is under the despotic boot of Czars or the authoritarian boot of Communism, the imagination and ideas of such authors as Leo Tolstoy, Leonid Andreyev, Maxin Gorky, Mikhail Bulgakov cut through with razor sharp prose that adds genius to each and every name.
