On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became a national star. That morning at Cape Canaveral, a small-town boy from Ohio took his place atop a rocket and soared into orbit to score a victory in the heavily contested Cold War. The television images were blurry black-and-white phantoms. The cameras shook as the rocket moved, but by the end of the day, one thing was clear: a new hero rode that rocket and became the center of the world's attention for the four hours and fifty-five minutes of his flight. From that day forward, Glenn restively wore the hero label. Refusing to let that dramatic day define his life, he went on to become a four-term US senator--and returned to space at the age of seventy-seven. He was a creation of the media, in some ways, but he was also a product of the Cold War. At a time when increasingly cynical Americans need heroes, his aura burns brightly in American memory.

Malé ženy jsou nestárnoucím příběhem, který vychází z autorčiných vlastních zážitků z mládí. Vypráví o rodině čtyř sester Marchových, Meg, Jo, Beth a Amy, které snad nemohou být už více rozdílné. Román sleduje, jak uprostřed malé komunity v Nové Anglii dospívají z dětí v ženy. S otcem daleko od domova a pracující matkou, která musí živit rodinu, jsou sestry odkázány jedna na druhou. Příběh o jejich domácích dobrodružstvích, přátelství se sousedy Laurencovými a později jejich milostných pletkách zůstává stále okouzlující. Anglicko-český zrcadlový text pro mírně pokročilé Little Women is an ageless story based on the author's own experiences from her youth. It tells the story of a family of four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, who perhaps can no longer be different. The novel follows the development of children from women into women in the middle of a small community in New England. With a father away from home and a working mother who has to support the family, the sisters depend on each other. The story of their home adventures, their friendship with Laurence's neighbors and later their love affairs still remains enchanting. English-Czech mirror text for intermediate students
