About the book

"Six generations of readers have found in the story of the March family universal truths about girls, families and growing up." -The Guardian"A Natural source of stories...she is, and is to be the poet of children." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "The novelist of children...the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom."-Henry JamesLittle Men is the second book in Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" trilogy of children's books centered around the activities of the March's, a progressive transcendental New England family. In this novel, a six month period of time during the late 1800's is recounted in the life of Jo Bhaer (née March) at the experimental school she runs with her German husband. A warm and heartfelt classic, Little Men is a delightful novel about the bonds and trust within friendship and family. When a poor orphan boy, Nat, is dropped on the stairs of Plumfield Estate School he is welcomed with open arms. The school is a unique and loving environment for Nat. He is encouraged in his musical talents and is encouraged to explore patience and the virtues of unity through nursery theater. When Dan, an old friend of Nat's arrives at the school, the tranquility of Plumfield is threatened. Through each student who joins the school, Alcott brilliantly portrays the experiences and the lessons learned. With its deceptively simple plot, the adventures and growth of the thirteen boys and two little girls is a beautifully realistic rendering of personal responsibility in the lives of young children.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Little Men is both modern and readable.

    Welcome to Plumfield. Meet the pubils, the children and Mr and Mrs Bhaer. The German Professor and our dear Jo opened a school for boys, but even some girls lived there. Meet one of the Hummels, a german woman - we remember our dear Beth just helped the family (in little women). Say hello to Teddy Laurence and wife Amy, the old Mr Laurie, Meg and husband John Brooke, father and mother March. It was just like meeting old friends. and I cried a lot while reading. The story itself started with the entry of Nat. He was sended by Mr Laurence. It is about the boys, not just the adults - which I missed sometimes. but to read how Jo made was beautiful. In Little Women she was such a wild kid. she truely loved her sisters and Teddy but her mind was totally free and full of thoughts and stories. She loved to write. Remember how she got-to-know her Future husband. It is not the same and you should realise that there isn't the magic like it was with the old Laurence and Beth but it has something special inside. Anyway, it was my third Louisa May Alcott book (little women -with good wives in one; an old-fashined girl abd now little men) and I need to say that I really like her writing. Even I think that Little women will always be my favorite from her, the others are pretty, too lovely.

    Dieses Buch ist für mich ein wahres Jahreshighlight. Der Schreibstil war super flüssig und so authentisch, dass ich wirklich wunderbar in die Geschichte eintauchen konnte. Die Geschichte hat mich zurück in meine Kindheit versetzt und mich an Buchreihen wie Hanni & Nanni oder Burg Schreckenstein erinnert, nur dass sie deutlich älter ist. Alles in allem ein wirklich perfektes und richtig schönes Buch, das ich nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen kann :)

    Eine unglaublich süße Geschichte! - Teil 3 Den Schreibstil des Buches fand ich sehr angenehm und flüssig zu lesen. Geschrieben ist die Geschichte dabei in der Er-/Sie-Perspektive, was aufgrund der vielen Charaktere, deren Beziehungen zueinander das Hauptthema des Buches ist, auch sehr gut zur Geschichte passt. Jo hat zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann eine Art Internat gegründet. Sie haben es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den Jungen die bestmögliche Basis für ein späteres erfolgreiches Leben zu ermöglichen. Dabei liegt der Fokus vor allem auch auf Kindern mit wenig Geld oder gar ohne Eltern. Das Buch handelt also primär von diesen Kindern - darunter auch die Söhne und Töchter der Schwestern aus Little Women -, die sich selbst und das Leben besser kennenlernen. Ich fand die Kinder allesamt bezaubernd. Sie haben frischen Wind in die Welt von Little Women gebracht, und mich des Öfteren zum Lachen. Die Kinder sind allesamt ihre ganz eigenen Persönlichkeiten, was zu viel Trubel führt. Einige von ihnen spielen gerne Streiche, anderer versinken am liebsten in einem Buch. Das zusammen mit den altbekannten Charakteren, die einem schon lange ans Herz gewachsen sind, macht das Buch zu etwas wirklich tollem. Die Geschichte der Jungs und Mädchen mitzuerleben macht größtenteils wirklich Spaß, da ihre Abenteuer einen zum Lachen bringen, aber auch zum Nachdenken anregen. Man lernt sozusagen mit ihnen zusammen neue Dinge und Weisheiten fürs Leben. Allerdings muss ich leider auch sagen, dass mir manche Szenen zu detaillierten beschrieben wurden, sodass ich das Buch stellenweise etwas langatmig fand. Trotzdem kommt die Geschichte wirklich süß und manchmal auch wirklich emotional daher, weshalb es sich hierbei bisher sogar im meinen liebsten Teil der Reihe handelt. Alles in allem fand ich die Geschichte also wirklich schön, weshalb das Buch von mir 4 Sterne bekommt.
