Гарриет Бичер-Стоу - электронные книги

Мировая известность пришла к американской писательнице Гарриет Бичер-Стоу после опубликования романа "Хижина дяди Тома". Бичер-Стоу с поразительной яркостью обрисовала бесчеловечность рабства, когда человек становится объектом купли-продажи, а жизнь его ничего не стоит. Персонажи романа - невольник дядя Том, покорно встретивший свою судьбу, мулат Гаррис и его мужественная жена Элиза, совершившие побег в Канаду, наложница плантатора Касси, отомстившая за свое поруганное достоинство, - необычайно жизненны и колоритны.

Италия, конец XV века. Печально известные Борджиа разоряют земли знатных римских семейств. Бесстрашный монах Джироламо Савонарола призывает церковь к покаянию. В горной хижине на окраинах Сорренто живёт старая Эльси со своей внучкой, прекрасной Агнес. Выросшая на легендах о святых, девочка мечтает уйти в монастырь, когда на ее пути встает Агостино Сарелли – обаятельный главарь разбойников… Книга пронизана солнечным светом, ароматом апельсиновых рощ, журчаньем римских фонтанов и свечением моря.

You won't fail to be captured by one of Harriet Beecher Stowe's greatest books 'Religious Studies, Sketches and Poems'.Religious and spiritual, the studies and poems reflect on how to live a godly life, discuss the afterlife, and the consequences of loss and tragedy. Stowe, herself, was very religious from early childhood and throughout her life, so it's not surprising that an entire book was written by her about religious thought and feelings. This is a great collection of some of her best literature classic works.

Once there was a nice young hen that we will call Mrs. Feathertop. She was a hen of most excellent family, being a direct descendant of the Bolton Grays, and as pretty a young fowl as you could wish to see of a summer's day. She was, moreover, as fortunately situated in life as it was possible for a hen to be. She was bought by young Master Fred Little John, with four or five family connections of hers, and a lively young cock, who was held to be as brisk a scratcher and as capable a head of a family as any half–dozen sensible hens could desire.

I can't say that at first Mrs. Feathertop was a very sensible hen. She was very pretty and lively, to be sure, and a great favourite with Master Bolton Gray Cock, on account of her bright eyes, her finely shaded feathers, and certain saucy dashing ways that she had which seemed greatly to take his fancy. But old Mrs. Scratchard, living in the neighbouring yard, assured all the neighbourhood that Gray Cock was a fool for thinking so much of that flighty young thing; THAT she had not the smallest notion how to get on in life, and thought of nothing in the world but her own pretty feathers. "Wait till she comes to have chickens," said Mrs. Scratchard; "then you will see. I have brought up ten broods myself—as likely and respectable chickens as ever were a blessing to society—and I think I ought to know a good hatcher and brooder when I see her; and I know THAT fine piece of trumpery, with her white feathers tipped with gray, never will come down to family life. SHE scratch for chickens! Bless me, she never did anything in all her days but run round and eat the worms which somebody else scratched up for her."

When Master Bolton Gray heard this he crowed very loudly, like a cock of spirit, and declared that old Mrs. Scratchard was envious, because she had lost all her own tail–feathers, and looked more like a worn– out old feather–duster than a respectable hen, and that therefore she was filled with sheer envy of anybody that was young and pretty. So young Mrs. Feathertop cackled gay defiance at her busy rubbishy neighbour, as she sunned herself under the bushes on fine June afternoons.

In 1852, the United States of America was anything but united. The divisive issue of slavery was roiling the nation, which argued ad nauseam about the extension of slavery in new states as the nation pushed westward. Less than a decade later, Americans would fight each other in a Civil War that would claim over half a million lives before it was all said and done.

That same year, Harriet Beecher Stowe, an ardent abolitionist in the Northeast, published her famous anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin**, which became an instant hit in the United States and spawned Southern responses in literature that depicted slavery as a benign institution. Given the debate that** Uncle Tom’s Cabin helped spawn, historians have viewed Stowe’s classic as a harbinger of the Civil War itself. A famous anecdote holds that Abraham Lincoln himself, upon meeting Stowe, described her as "the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war."

While that quote is likely apocryphal, the historical importance of Uncle Tom’s Cabin remains well understood today, but the book is also remembered today for certain depictions and stereotypes of black people. These stereotypes include the affable “mammy,” the "pickaninny" stereotype of black children; and, of course, an “Uncle Tom”, which has ironically become a pejorative for a person who suffers dutifully for his boss.

"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone"Poems such as "The Other World" "Mary at the Cross" and "The Secret" are spread across the pages of this collection by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Religious and spiritual, the poems reflect on how to live a godly life, discuss the afterlife, and the consequences of loss and tragedy. In much of her poetry, Stowe considers the relationship between Protestantism and Catholicism, a relatively radical position for her day.

Perheen aikuiset tyttäret päättävät, että vanhempien olohuone on auttamattoman vanhanaikainen – matto ja huonekalut on vaihdettava muodikkaiksi, kanarialinnut ja huonekasvit täytyy viedä pois. Perheen isä seuraa vierestä, miten ennen niin kodikas olohuone muuttuu tyylikkääksi ja kalvakkaaksi näyttelyhuoneeksi. Edes vieraat eivät enää viihdy huoneessa!"Tunnustan että vapisin, sillä hurjista hurjimpia ovat naiset, jotka ovat saaneet päähänsä uudistaa ja siivota kotia."Harriet Beecher Stowen vuonna 1867 julkaistussa romaanissa "Pikku Haltijoita" paneudutaan muun muassa kodin merkitykseen. Monet romaanin havainnoista ovat hämmentävän ajankohtaisia myös tänä päivänä.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1852. After the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Southerners accused Stowe of misrepresenting slavery. In order to show that she had neither lied about slavery nor exaggerated the plight of enslaved people, she compiled The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin was published to document the veracity of the depiction of slavery in Stowe's anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. First published in 1853, the book also provides insights into Stowe's own views on slavery. The book was subtitled "Presenting the Original Facts and Documents upon Which the Story Is Founded, Together with Corroborative Statements Verifying the Truth of the Work". Harriet Beecher Stowe ( 1811 – 1896) was an American abolitionist and author. Her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin was a depiction of life for African Americans under slavery. It energized anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. She wrote more than 20 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential both for her writings and her public stands on social issues of the day.
