http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201307/201307270209087581337.mp3Alcott wrote a story called "A Long Fatal Love Chase." It is about an independent young woman. She marries an older man who already has a wife. She flees from him. He follows her throughout Europe. The book tells of insanity, violence, and death. Louisa May Alcott tried to get the book published in 1866. The publisher rejected it. He said it was too shocking.
A man who collected Alcott materials found the unpublished story in a bookstore in New York City. He bought it for about $50,000 a few years ago. He reportedly sold it to a major American publisher for about $1,000,000.奥尔科特写了一部名为《亡爱天涯》的故事。讲诉的是一名年轻的独立女性嫁给了一个已婚的老男人。她从老男人那里逃脱，男人贯穿整个欧洲追踪她的一个故事。这是一个疯狂、暴力并且关于死亡的故事。路易莎·梅·奥尔科特努力尝试1866年能发行此书。但是发行商认为这本书内容过于震撼拒绝了。一个收集奥尔科特材料的人在纽约的一个书店里发现了这部未发行的故事。他几年后用50,000买了。 然后以1,000,000卖给美国发行商。
