Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Eight Cousins (1875) is a novel by American author, feminist, and abolitionist Louisa May Alcott. Based on her experience of being raised by a father dedicated to education reform, and grounded in her radical beliefs on the role of women in society, Eight Cousins is a masterpiece of children's literature that explores themes of family, death, and perseverance. Rose Campbell is a young girl when her parents pass away. Orphaned, she is taken to the Boston home of her great aunts, the Campbell sisters, who raise her while awaiting the arrival of their brother Alec, Rose's legal guardian. An heiress, Rose must adjust to the rhythms of New England high society while also learning that the limitations placed on women--which her uncle disdains--must not be allowed to restrain her. When Alec returns from business overseas, she is introduced to her male uncles and cousins. Although she is nervous at first--and still in mourning for her affectionate father-- she soon finds herself appreciative of her new male role model, who educates her, rejects the oppressive women's fashion of the day, and encourages her to take control of her life and fortune. Although her more conservative aunts are first wary of Alec's influence, they too grow to understand his moral and political principles, creating the harmony necessary for Rose's upbringing and development into a capable young woman. Although less popular than Alcott's "March Family Saga," Eight Cousins is a brilliant work that captures the power of love and community over prejudice and convention, and--like each of the author's works--has long been read and adored by children and adults alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Louisa May Alcott's Eight Cousins is a classic of American literature and children's fiction reimagined for modern readers.


Notă biografică

Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she also grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott's family suffered financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard, under which she wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888.
