World bestseller. The history of the March family, in which four sisters are growing up friendly, but unlike each other, contains recognizable ups and downs of youth, growing up, friendship and love. 1 volume Louisa May Alcott's most famous book, Little Women, was published in 1868. The plot tells about the life of the friendly March family, in which four sisters grow up: romantic Meg, restless Jo, quiet Beth and capricious Amy. The book was very popular, and readers wanted a sequel, so very soon Alcott released a second part called Good Wives. The success of the second book prompted the writer to write two more novels: in 1871 the book "Little Men" was published, and in 1886 - "Joe's Boys". In them, readers will meet again with the grown-up Jo March, one of the main characters of the previous novels. Together with her husband, she opened a boarding house for homeless boys, in which free rules of behavior reign. The difficulties and mistakes that the heroes of the novel make help them learn to be brave and honest, to appreciate friendship and devotion. Translator I. Bessmertnaya
