Sinopse

Falkner (1837) is the penultimate book published by the author Mary Shelley. Like Shelley's earlier novel Lodore (1835), it charts a young woman's education under a tyrannical father figure.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who is best known for writing the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction.
She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother was the philosopher and women's rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft.

    In Heaven a spirit doth dwell
    “Whose heart-strings are a lute;”
    None sing so wildly well
    As the angel Israfel,
    And the giddy stars (so legends tell)
    Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell
    Of his voice, all mute.

    "Life is a hard fight for many of us, but we can turn it into a glorious victory if we choose."
    
    Ten years have passed since the events of Little Men, and the "boys" of Plumfield have grown into young men facing the challenges of the adult world. At the center of it all is Jo Bhaer (née March), the matriarch and mentor who watches over her flock with the same wit and wisdom that made her a literary icon. From the halls of college to the rugged frontier, follow the diverse paths of Tommy, Demi, Nat, and the rebellious Dan as they navigate love, career, and the enduring legacy of the March family.
    
    The Evolution of a Legacy: Jo's Boys is more than a sequel; it is a reflection on the maturity of a generation. Jo, now a successful author, grapples with the trials of fame and the bittersweet reality of her "nest" emptying. The novel explores progressive themes of the era, including women's higher education, the pursuit of unconventional careers, and the moral complexities of a changing America.
    
    A Story of Redemption and Growth: While the novel provides the "happy endings" readers crave, it doesn't shy away from the shadows. The journey of Dan Kean—the "wild boy" of Plumfield—provides a gritty, emotional counterpoint to the domestic comforts of the March household. It is a story about the strength of roots and the courage required to forge one's own identity in a world that often demands conformity.
    
    Return to the warmth of the March family. Purchase "Jo's Boys" today and complete the journey that began with "Little Women."
