Ediciones Cátedra Trabajo un relato de vivencias
Louisa May Alcott es la autora de literatura juvenil más destacada de todos los tiempos. Sus obras se asocian a un universo exclusivamente habitado por mujeres, cuyos lectores fueron y siguen siendo femeninos. La imagen que se imprimió de la autora, y que desafortunadamente sigue vigente entre el gran público, es la de una dama recatada, dedicada a la literatura edulcorada mera propaganda de los valores sociales decimonónicos más convencionales. Sin embargo, este enjuiciamiento se halla muy lejos tanto de su realidad biográfica como de los matices ideológicos que transmiten sus obras. La crítica ha releído a Alcott y ha desvelado el trasfondo principal que siempre escondieron las obras de esta escritora, que tenía poco de "mujercita" y mucho de "mujer": la rabiosa censura de una Norteamérica dominada por los hombres. En Trabajo. Un relato de vivencias se ofrecen con gran coherencia y fuerza narrativa muchas de las claves que guiaron los principios vitales de Louisa May Alcott: su dedic

Mujercitas
Escrita por la incomparable Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), ?Mujercitas? narra la historia de cuatro hermanas y una madre que superan los problemas cotidianos a fuerza de amor y comprensión mutua, mientras el padre está ausente en el frente bélico. Quizás para la época en que nos ha tocado en suerte vivir, peca un poco de idealista, pero vale la pena su lectura como terapia purificadora para la vorágine incansable de nuestro mundo. Con el tiempo la novela se ha convertido en un testimonio histórico de la transición entre la Guerra Civil norteamericana y la modernidad, además de ser un ejemplo para niñas y jóvenes de todo el mundo, sobre la individualidad, la tenacidad y la vocación de la mujer en la sociedad y la familia. La presente edición contiene ilustraciones de Katherine Silva y está presentada en formato de 13,5 x 19 cms, con encuadernación tapa dura y marca páginas de hilo.

Vintage Publishing Little Women
SPECIAL 150TH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONOne hundred and fifty years ago, at the request of her publisher, Louisa May Alcott sat down reluctantly to write 'a girls' book'. Knowing that, contrary to society’s expectations, girls often had to be brave, resourceful and bold, that the private lives of girls were colourful and surprising, Alcott wrote a book in which girls would recognise themselves. She drew on her own experiences and those of her impoverished New England family in writing her new novel, and declared, when she was finished, that it was better than she expected: 'Not a bit sensational, but simple and true, for we really lived most of it, and if it succeeds that will be the reason of it. . .'Simple, true, and keenly resonant with life, spirit and affection, Little Women did succeed, delighting readers across the world, and it has never been out of print since its first publication in 1868. Whichever sister you are drawn to, be it sensible, romantic Meg or sweet, sunshiny Beth, whether you are burning with ambition like Jo, or share with Amy the wish for a more beautiful nose, the March girls are all irresistible, and will go on winning hearts and capturing imaginations for the next 150 years to come.Includes the sequel Good Wives.

Cambios de humor Grande Clsicos Spanish Edition
Cambios de humor (Moods) fue la primera novela publicada por la famosa autora estadounidense Louisa May Alcott. Aparecida en 1864, cuatro años antes de su gran éxito Mujercitas, y reescrita casi veinte años más tarde (versión que presentamos aquí), retrata de manera poco convencional a una mujercita de 17 años, sincera y apasionada (como lo fue la propia autora), que anhela una existencia repleta de aventuras. El relato comienza cuando Sylvia se embarca en un viaje de placer por el río con su hermano y dos amigos de este, Adam y Geoffrey ?pretendientes rivales que se inspiran en los filósofos Henry David Thoreau y Ralph Waldo Emerson?, quienes se enamoran perdidamente de ella. Sylvia siente la fuerza del magnetismo y el carácter fuerte de Adam, pero también valora mucho la tierna amistad y llena de sensibilidad de Geoffrey. Al estar dominada por sus cambios de humor y gobernada más por la emoción que por la razón, Sylvia tal vez hará juicios equivocados en el amor. En definitiva, una m

Edwards y la hija de expatriados británicos Vernon Lee?, que, a finales del siglo XIX y principio del siglo pasado, se dedicaron con éxito a un género que elevó a nivel literario las leyendas y los cuentos populares que hablaban de apariciones espectrales, de profecías ancestrales o de inexplicables acontecimientos sobrenaturales.

A recently orphaned girl meets her extended family—including seven rambunctious cousins—for the first time in this charming novel from Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women!Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell never knew her mother, and the death of her father leaves her reeling and hopelessly lonely. She’s sent to live with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her father’s wealthy Boston family who she’s never met. The elderly women’s quiet household suits Rose’s mourning, but the arrival of her appointed guardian, Uncle Alec, challenges the status quo. With Alec as her guide, Rose is properly introduced to the other residents of “Aunt-Hill,” including Alec’s four sisters and their sons. Having so many relations overwhelms Rose at first. Her dour Aunt Myra convinces her she has a fragile constitution while fashionable Aunt Clara turns Rose’s head with stylish clothes. And the collective energy of male cousins ranging from age six to sixteen is more than she knows how to handle. But Uncle Alec’s steady commitment to seeing Rose flourish helps her find her footing and grow to love her eccentric family. She even “adopts” Great Aunt Plenty and Peace’s housemaid, Phebe, as her sister. Surrounded by people who love her, Rose slowly but surely goes from sickly and timid to healthy, active, and bold as she learns to keep her father’s memory close while setting a course for a happy future.
