Eight Cousins


Life with seven boy cousins isn't quite what Rose expected. Left an orphan after her father's death, Rose Campbell is sent to live at the "Aunt Hill" with her six aunts and seven rowdy boy cousins. For someone who is used to a girl's boarding school, it all seems pretty overwhelming. Her guardian, Uncle Alec, makes her eat healthy things like oatmeal, and even tries to get her to give up her pretty dresses for drab, sensible clothes. Will Rose ever get used to her uncle's crazy notions and all her noisy relatives?

A Merry Christmas


Louisa May Alcott's enchanting Christmas stories, presented in a beautiful hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift. A Merry Christmas collects the best holiday stories of Louisa May Alcott, from the yuletide festivities of Marmee and her 'little women' to the moving 'What Love Can Do'. Deeply influenced by real-life events, including characters based on Alcott's family members and drawing from her experiences participating in the suffrage and abolitionist movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America. Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. Her family later moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where Alcott was influenced by their neighbours Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. At a young age, Louisa took on some of the family's financial burdens, working as a domestic, a teacher, and a writer. In 1868 and 1869, fame and fortune came with the publication of Little Women. The author of many novels and an active campaigner for temperance and women's suffrage, Alcott died in 1888.

Egy régimódi lány


Volt egyszer egy Amerika, benne egy gazdag család, s a családnak egy szép, szegény vendége. A lányban annyi az erő, a természetesség, a báj, hogy a könyv minden szereplőjének életét attól kezdve ez az erő, természetesség és báj irányítja. Akkor is, amikor életsorsok veszedelmeiből és szerelmek vidám szövevényeiből kell végül mindennek jóra fordulnia. Még mi, olvasók is e lánynak köszönhetjük, hogy megismerhetjük ezt az egyszervolt Amerikát. Polly csinos, életvidám teremtés, aki a kor nőeszményével szemben a tevékeny, saját sorsát alakító, másokon mindig segíteni kész új nőtípust testesíti meg. Egyik pillanatról a másikra robban be az előkelő és felszínes új angliai társasági életbe, és a maga állhatatos, mégis derűs és bájos lényével számos barátot szerez. A tisztes szegénység, a munka és a szeretet megingathatatlan erények számára, amelyeket még a legelvetemültebb ficsúrban vagy rongyrázó kisasszonyban is megtalál. A már-már idilli környezetbe egy másik, kíméletlenebb világ hírnökei érkeznek – és a váratlanul betoppanó szerelem –, így a gazdag baráti család anyagi összeomlása után Pollynak immár azért is küzdenie kell, hogy a viharban összegabalyodott szerelmi szálak újra egybefonódjanak. Louisa May Alcott, a nagy sikerű Kisasszonyok szerzője, ebben a könyvében a 19. századi Amerika értékeit egyedülálló női szemszögből ragadja meg, amit egyszerre jellemez a szárnyaló romantika és a földön járó derű. Alcott is egy igazi fiús vadóc volt. „Egy fiú se lehetett a barátom, amíg le nem győztem őt valamilyen versenyben. És olyan lányokkal nem barátkoztam, akik nem tudtak fára mászni, vagy átugrani a kerítésen” – írta Louisa saját magáról. A szerző különleges egyénisége és karaktere írásain is átsugárzik. A Manó Könyvek gondozásában végre most a teljes, eredeti szöveg bravúros fordítása jelenik meg.
