Louisa May Alcott

Autor: Louisa May Alcott

Número de Páginas: 227

Desde la publicación de «Mujercitas» en 1868, Louisa May Alcott había venido siendo considerada una escritora conservadora de novelas románticas para adolescentes. Sin embargo, durante las últimas tres décadas numerosas investigadoras han trabajado para modificar esta imagen almibarada e incompleta de la autora y han mostrado la amplitud y complejidad de su producción literaria. Esta labor de recuperación de la obra alcottiana se ha visto lamentablemente limitada casi en su totalidad a estudios en lengua inglesa. Este volumen es un intento de paliar esta carencia de publicaciones en español con la presentación de tres relatos hasta ahora inéditos en nuestra lengua: el relato gótico «Tras la máscara», el cuento «La doma del tártaro» y la sátira «Semillas trascendentalistas», escritos todos ellos para un público adulto.

—¿Ha venido? —No, mamá, aún no ha venido. —Desearía que todo hubiera acabado. Pensar en ello me inquieta y al mismo tiempo me provoca cierta emoción. Bella, acércame un cojín para la espalda. La malhumorada señora Coventry se acomodó en un sillón con un suspiro que denotaba nerviosismo y cierto aire de mártir, mientras su hermosa hija revoloteaba a su lado con afectuosa solicitud. —¿De quién están hablando, Lucía? —preguntó el joven lánguido que permanecía cerca de su prima repantigado en otro sillón. Ésta se inclinó sobre su obra de tapicería con una amable sonrisa esbozada en su rostro, que, por lo general, se mostraba altivo. —De la nueva institutriz, la señorita Muir. ¿Qué quieres que te cuente sobre ella? —Nada, gracias. Siento una gran aversión por todas esas mujeres. A veces doy gracias a Dios por tener sólo una hermana, de que ella sea la madre de un niño mimado y de haberme librado durante tanto tiempo de la tortura de tener una institutriz. —¿Y ahora cómo lo soportarás? —quiso saber Lucía. —Ausentándome mientras ella esté en casa. —No, no lo harás.

Mujercitas, la novela cl�sica de Louise May Alcott ambientada en la guerra de Secesi�n, fue publicada en Estados Unidos en 1868. Han pasado casi ciento cincuenta a�os desde entonces, pero la complicidad de las cuatro hermanas March, quienes a trav�s de sus gestos y palabras resumen el esp�ritu cr�tico de una �poca, sigue siendo fuente de inspiraci�n y disfrute para las generaciones de lectores que se asoman a las p�ginas de esta fascinante obra.Pues Mujercitas no es otra que la historia de los March, una familia acostumbrada al trabajo y al sufrimiento. Aunque el padre est� lejos sirviendo en el ej�rcito de la Uni�n, las hermanas Meg, Jo, Amy y Beth mantienen sus esp�ritus en alto junto a su madre. Su amistoso regalo de un desayuno en Navidad a una familia vecina es un acto de generosidad recompensado con el obsequio del Sr. Laurence de un banquete sorpresa. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus esfuerzos para ser buenas, las muchachas muestran defectos: la linda Meg est� descontenta con los ni�os a los que da clases; la infantil Jo pierde sus estribos con regularidad; mientras la colegiala de cabellos de oro Amy se inclina hacia la afectaci�n.

La Navidad se acerca y cuatro hermanas adolescentes, Meg, Jo, Beth y Amy, se disponen a celebrarla junto con su madre, Marmee, con la inquietud que conlleva la precariedad de dinero. Meg trabaja y aporta lo que puede; Jo ayuda cuidando a la tía March en su mansión de Plumfield y sueña con ser una escritora famosa; Beth se ocupa junto con su madre del cuidado de la casa y siempre está presta a apagar cualquier conato de disputa; Amy en fin, pese a ser la más pequeña, parece ser muy consciente de lo que quiere y de lo que le importa. Todas ellas inician, sin saberlo, un año que marcará su desarrollo y su personalidad, pues a lo largo de él habrán de buscar o encontrar su lugar en la sociedad y en el mundo, satisfaciendo cada una a su manera las expectativas sociales que les vienen impuestas o, como en el caso de Jo, impulsiva y viva de genio, resistiéndose a ellas. Cuando fue publicada en 1868, "Mujercitas" alcanzó inmediatamente un éxito de crítica y ventas que llevó al editor a proponerle a la autora una continuación que vio la luz al año siguiente. En 1880 ambas partes, con toda una serie de revisiones, supresiones y limaduras destinadas a edulcorar la obra, se...

Fruitlands

Autor: Louisa May Alcott

Número de Páginas: 120

Massachusetts, finales de 1840. Los Lamb acaban de llegar por fin a su edén particular: una comuna que profesa la filosofía de los trascendentalistas (la de Thoreau y Emerson). Allí, planean vivir apartados del resto de la sociedad, alimentándose de la tierra y siguiendo los principios de la belleza, la virtud, la justicia y el amor, en su búsqueda de una existencia perfectamente armonizada con su entorno y las demás criaturas de Dios. Todo parece sencillo y amigable en ese bosque lleno de intelectuales bienintencionados, pero quizá necesiten algo más que filosofía para sobrevivir: ¿cómo harán frente al crudo invierno de Nueva Inglaterra? ¿Acaso saben algo sobre el mundo del pastoreo y la agricultura? ¿Qué ocurrirá cuando lleguen las primeras tormentas?
