Audiokniha: Každá je jiná, ale všechny po svém usilují o štěstí, lásku a životní naplnění. Během prvního roku bojů Severu proti Jihu prožívají čtyři sestry rozdílných povah pod dohledem starostlivé matky nejrůznější sourozenecká škádlení, nacházejí přátelství, snaží se pomáhat druhým a potkávají je první citové zmatky. Romantická Meg, nezkrotná Jo, plachá Beth a rozmazlená Amy musejí čelit stesku po tatínkovi, který bojuje v občanské válce, nedostatku či vážné chorobě, ale hlavně svým vlastním ambicím, tužbám a malým nectnostem. „Malé ženy jsou dodnes klasikou a na rozdíl od mnoha jiných děl 19. století nebyly nikdy zapomenuty. Něco z jejich kouzla zřejmě dokáže odolat času i proměnám literárního vkusu.“ Jana Kunová, překladatelka Audiokniha (P) & © OneHotBook, 2018. Všechna práva vyhrazena. Louis May Alcott (1832—1888) Americká spisovatelka vyrostla v harmonické rodině, která žila v duchu německé transcendentalistické filozofie. Finanční situace ji už v mládí přiměla, aby pracovala jako učitelka, švadlena, guvernantka, pomocnice a nakonec i spisovatelka. První publikovanou povídku Soupeřící malíři (The Rival Painters) napsala v šestnácti letech. O dva roky později následovala první kniha Květinové bajky (Flower Fables, 1854), roku 1860 začala přispívat do magazínu Atlantic Monthly. Pod pseudonymem A. M. Barnard psala kvůli výdělku i brakovou literaturu. Skutečný úspěch přišel až s první částí románu Malé ženy (Little women or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, 1868), v němž se inspirovala vlastním dětstvím. Knihu psala na objednávku a brzy k ní přibyla i druhá část (Good wives, 1869), kde líčí dospívání svých hrdinek a jejich hledání manželského štěstí. Později doplnila další díly Malí muži (Little men, 1871) nebo Jo a její hoši (Jo’s boys, 1886). Zastávala abolicionistické a feministické názory, byla obránkyní sufražetek a stala se první ženou registrovanou do volební komise v Concordu. Andrea Elsnerová (*1977) Po studiu herectví na pražské konzervatoři nastoupila do angažmá v Městském divadle Mladá Boleslav. Odtud v roce 1999 přešla do Divadla na Vinohradech, kde působí dodnes. Na televizní obrazovce se poprvé objevila v seriálu Prima sezona (1994) a ve stejném roce ztvárnila roli novicky ve filmu Řád, za kterou byla nominována na Českého lva a oceněna Zlatým glóbem na pražském MFF. Největší popularitu ale získala díky seriálu Četnické humoresky (2000, 2003) a objevila se také v dalších televizních sériích Život na zámku, Hříšní lidé města brněnského, Hraběnky či Cukrárna, dále v pohádce Rumplcimprcampr (1997) nebo ve snímcích Fany (1995), Co chytneš v žitě (1998) či Rafťáci (2008). Kromě toho úspěšně spolupracuje s rozhlasem a věnuje se dabingu.

eBook: 'Moods' follows the life of the strong willed tom-boy Sylvia Yule, who is heavily inspired by Alcott's own experiences, embodying her strong feminist and abolitionist attitudes. On a river camping trip with her brother, two of his friends will fall in love with her and compete for her heart. Sylvia will marry one of the men out of passion but will he be the right one for her? The rest of the novel follows Sylvia as she tries to find her place in the world while not losing her own identity.
