Louise May Alcott (1832 — 1888) grew up in a «literary family» surrounded by famous poets, writers and philosophers. And her very first novel, published in 1868 and bearing a largely autobiographical character — «Little Women» — not only became a sensation of its time, but immortalized the name of the writer forever. Subsequently, Olcott again and again turned to the further destinies of the heroines of this novel, creating the first «family saga» in American literature — the tetralogy «Little Women», «Good Wives», «Little Men» and «Joe’s Boys.» a family saga that follows the fates of the four March sisters. Little girls grew up and quietly turned into elegant ladies. Each sister follows her own path in life: Meg is going to marry John Brook, Joe is planning to become a famous writer, Amy dreams of traveling around Europe and painting, and Bess wants to stay at home and live a quiet life. The sisters face the challenges of adulthood, but despite different paths, they cope with difficulties together, and each of the girls finds her own happiness.
