Description

“Little Women” is one of the most famous works of English literature by the renowned American writer Louisa May Alcott. Immediately after its release, the book won universal love from readers and favorable reviews from critics. The novel has been adapted into a film 9 times and translated into most languages of the world.

Alcott used the title “Little Women” in a Dickensian sense — it refers to a period in the life of a young woman when children grow out of adolescence and take their first steps into a new, already almost adult but still very young adulthood. Each of the four sisters in the novel experiences its own heartrending ordeal — experiences that also warn the reader that “childhood innocence” belongs to the past, and that ahead of the girls lies a long life full of “inevitable women’s problems.”
