5. Louisa May Alcott, Little Women (1868)
《小妇人》(1868年),路易莎•梅•奥尔科特著
The story of the four March sisters as they pass from childhood innocence to young adulthood has endured from one generation to the next, never losing its power to enthrall. The autobiographical novel speeds along, thanks to crisp, realistic dialogue, enduring characters and keen insights into family dynamics.
马奇家四姐妹从纯真的童年到初长成人的故事代代流传,经久不衰。这本自传体小说对话鲜活真实、人物形象深入人心、对家庭动态的洞察敏锐,情节紧凑、引人入胜。
"Meg was Amy's confidant and monitor, and by some strange attraction of opposites Jo was gentle Beth's," Alcott writes. (Jo was the character most like its author.)"One name will explain my adoration for Little Women: Jo March!" says Booklist senior editor Donna Seaman. "What book-loving young reader doesn't revere Louisa May Alcott's intrepid, ink-stained hero? Of course, Alcott was also one brilliant and gripping storyteller with sharp and knowing opinions. So astutely constructed is this novel, it sustains repeated readings." (Credit: Transatlantic Press)
奥尔科特写道:“梅格是艾米的知己和监护人,而温柔的贝思对乔又有某种神奇的异性魅力。”(乔的性格最接近作者本人。)《书单》杂志资深编辑唐娜•希曼说:“一个名字就能解释我为什么喜欢《小妇人》:乔•马奇!爱读书的年轻读者怎么会不崇拜路易莎•梅•奥尔科特笔下那无畏的英雄呢?当然了,奥尔科特也是位才华横溢、抓人眼球的作者,她的观点既犀利又博学。所以这本小说设计精巧,经得起反复阅读品味。”(来源:跨大西洋出版社)
