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.

Little Women is one of the best-loved children’s stories of all time, based on the author’s own youthful experiences. It describes the family of the four March sisters living in a small New England community.
