| Summary |
"Pikku miehiä" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows a group of boys living under the care of the Bhaer family at Plumfield, a school designed to nurture their growth into responsible young men. The main character, Nat, is introduced as a new arrival, and the narrative explores themes of friendship, mentorship, and personal development within a nurturing environment. At the start of the novel, we meet Nat, a homeless boy who arrives at Plumfield after being sent by Mr. Laurence. He is greeted warmly by the staff and quickly becomes immersed in the lively atmosphere filled with other boys, engaging in various playful activities. As he adjusts to his new surroundings, Nat observes the kindness of Mrs. Bhaer and gradually finds a sense of belonging and acceptance among the boys. The opening sets the stage for Nat's journey toward healing and self-discovery, reflecting the supportive community created by the Bhaers, who aim to foster the boys' education and character amidst their youthful exuberance.
