Den amerikanske forfatterinde Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) er i mest kendt for at have skrevet den udødelige klassiker Little Women(da. Pigebørn) fra 1869, der endnu engang er blevet genindspillet til det store lærred. Men Alcott skrev også “sensationsromaner” eller “Blood and Thunder tales”, som hun selv kaldte dem. Hovedværket blandt disse er den psykologiske spændingsroman Bag en maske eller en kvindes magt, der udkom i1866underder pseudonymet A. M. Barnard som en ugentlig føljetonhistorie i avisen Flag of Our Union. Selvom Bag en maske er en af ​​Alcotts mindre kendte værker, er det stadig en vigtig litterær perle i hendes samlede oeuvre, der fortjener at blive læst i en ny dansk oversættelse. For i den korte fortælling gemmer der sig en roman om romantik, magtspil og seksuelle intriger, som samtidig kan betragtes som et direkte angreb på tidens opfattelse af klasseforhold og kønsroller. Romanen omhandler den unge, fascinerende Jean Muir, der ansættes som guvernante hos overklassefamilien Coventry. Jean Muir er en mislykket skuespillerinde, hvis scenekarriere i Frankrig er et overstået kapitel, på grund af hendes falmende ynde – selvom hun kun er 30 år. Men med sine skuespillerevner og forståelse for selvpræsentationens kraft får hun, forklædt med både paryk og falske tænder, hele huset til at falde i svime over hendes yndige og smittende væsen. Snart kæmper samtlige af husets mænd om hendes gunst og der går ikke lang tid før mestermanipulatoren Jean Muir har fået spillet alle beboere ud mod hinanden. Et nervepirrende magtspil udfolder sig, hvor det bliver sværere og sværere at gennemskue, om Jane Muir er romanens heltinde eller skruppelløse skurk. Bag en maske er andet bind i serien Udenlandsk fugl, der fokuserer på oversættelser af kvindelige forfatteres horrorlitteratur og dens mange afarter fra perioden 1880-1940. I serien er udkommet Charlotte Perkins Gilmans Det gule tapet, der har fået stor omtale og fem stjerner i både Berlingske og Politiken. Seriens ønske er at bringe de kvindelige horrorforfattere frem i lyset og ændre på den gængse forestilling om, at der ikke fandtes kvindelige forfattere inden for genren, hvilket har vist sig at være ganske forkert. Serien afspejler samtidens interesse dels for feministisk litteratur og dels for en revurdering af genrelitteraturen. Romanen er oversat og med efterord af Hans Peter Madsen

Little Women is one of the most beloved novels in children's literature. A perennial classic with fans the world over. 2018 marks the book's 150th anniversary.

Presents the story of four sisters: independent, tomboyish Jo; delicate, loving Beth; pretty, kind Meg; and precocious, beautiful Amy, the baby of the family. This title tells the story of these four little women and their wise and patient mother Marmee enduring hardships and enjoying adventures in Civil War New England.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

Written in six weeks, and at first thought by its editor to be 'dull', this story of an American family - four sisters and their mother living through the months while father is away in the Civil War - has a universal and enduring appeal.

Little Women is one of the best-loved children's stories of all time, based on the author's own youthful experiences. It describes the family of the four March sisters living in a small New England community. Meg, the eldest, is pretty and wishes to be a lady; Jo, at fifteen is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author; Beth is a delicate child of thirteen with a taste for music and Amy is a blonde beauty of twelve. The story of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Laurence family, and their later love affairs remains as fresh and beguiling as ever. Soon after the success of Little Women, Louis May Alcott wrote a sequel called Good Wives. In the U.K. and around most of the world, this has continued to be published as a separate book, but many American editions have incorporated both books under the title of Little Women. Readers should note that our editions do not contain material from Good Wives unless specifically stated.
