''The best boys - in the literary sense - that we have ever come across'' SPECTATOR ''Little Women was widely read, but its sequel Little Men even more so, perhaps because it was checked out by boys, too'' NEW YORK TIMES ''It takes so little to make a child happy, that it is a pity in a world full of sunshine and pleasant things, that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands, or lonely little hearts.''Jo March - now Mrs Bhaer - is married, and the couple have set up Plumfield, a boarding school for orphans. With twelve boys to care for, as well as their own two sons, the Bhaers rarely have a minute to themselves, but though they are busy, they are happy and fulfilled, guiding their young charges with wisdom and compassion. With so many lively children, though, it takes the support of the whole March family to prevent the boys'' mischievous scrapes from leading to full-scale disasters.Also available in Virago Children''s Classics: Little Women, Good Wives and Jo''s Boys

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.

Helmand Province in Afghanistan in 2008 was the most dangerous place on earth. George McCafferty of Delta Company led 12 Platoon Delta Company, 5 SCOTS through the fighting season. He kept a diary. For some of that period Ross Kemp went out with the platoon to film and report for Sky News.‘“Ross, What’s wrong with this picture?” I asked him. He knotted his eyebrows and looked around. “No civvies!” he exclaimed. He was absolutely right, not only were there no visible signs of life but there was also no noise, no call to prayer.’The Little Men tells the real story of Operation Herrick 8, unvarnished, from the point of view not of generals or politicians, but the poor bloody infantry. It is full of details that only such a source can provide: ‘I looked at Scotty McGregor, my little Gimpy gunner. He was five foot nothing and if he rested the butt of the 7.62mm machine gun on the floor, the gun was nearly as tall as he was. In his patrol pack he carried eight hundred rounds of 7.62mm ammo and a spare barrel. I had chosen him as a Gimpy gunner as he was the best man for the job. He didn’t go crazy with his bursts and was always aware of his fall of shot, so he never came close to running out of ammo.’Courage, loyalty to one another, sacrifice. Was it all worth it? That’s still to be determined ‒ but whatever the answer, the effort should never be forgotten.
