uncle tom s cabin harriet elisabeth beecher stoweova

Editedand with an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine. University of Kent at Canterbury.Uncle Tom''s Cabin is the most popular, influential and controversial book written by an American. Stowe''s rich, panoramic novel passionately dramatises why the whole of America is implicated in and responsible for the sin of slavery, and resoundingly concludes that only ‘repentance, justice and mercy’ will prevent the onset of ‘the wrath of Almighty God!’.The novel gave such a terrific impetus to the crusade for the abolition of slavery that President Lincoln half-jokingly greeted Stowe as‘the little lady’ who started the great Civil War. As Keith Carabine argues in his lively and provocative Introduction, the novel immediately provoked a storm of competing and contradictory responses among Northern and Southern readers, moderate and radical abolitionist groups, blacks and women, with regard to issues of form, genre, politics, religion, race and gender, that are still of great interest because they anticipate the concerns that vex and divide modern readers and critical constituencies.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.‘One thing is certain, – that there is a mustering among the masses, the world over; and there is a dis irae coming on, sooner or later.’Viewed by many as fuelling the abolitionist movement of the 1850s and laying the groundwork for the Civil War, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s sentimental and moral tale of slaves attempting to secure their freedom was one of the most popular books of the nineteenth century. Centred round the long-suffering Uncle Tom, a devout Christian slave who endures cruelty and abuse from his owners, Tom is often celebrated as the first black hero in American fiction who refuses to obey his white masters. With other strong protagonists such as Eliza, a courageous slave who flees to the North with her son when she learns that he is to be sold, Beecher Stowe highlighted the plight of southern slaves and the breaking up of black families. Not without its controversy, more recent criticism has suggested that the novel contributed negatively to the stereotyping of the black community.

Published in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel was a powerful indictment of slavery in America. Describing the many trials and eventual escape to freedom of the long-suffering, good-hearted slave Uncle Tom, it aimed to show how Christian love can overcome any human cruelty. Uncle Tom’s Cabin has remained controversial to this day, seen as either a vital milestone in the anti-slavery cause or as a patronising stereotype of African-Americans, yet it played a crucial role in the eventual abolition of slavery and remains one of the most important American novels ever written.

Elisabeth Elliot: A Life of SurrenderFrom missionary daughter to courageous witness, Elisabeth Elliot's remarkable journey exemplifies unwavering faith in the face of tragedy and triumph. This captivating biography traces her life from childhood through her years at Wheaton College where she met her first husband, Jim Elliot, and their missionary work in Ecuador. When Jim and four fellow missionaries were martyred by the Auca (Waorani) tribe in 1956, Elisabeth's response shocked the world. Rather than retreating in bitterness, she and her young daughter Valerie eventually went to live among the very people who killed her husband, bringing them the gospel of forgiveness. Through personal loss, widowhood, and later challenges, Elisabeth embraced each circumstance with her signature motto: "In acceptance lieth peace." Her influential books, radio ministry, and counter-cultural teachings on biblical womanhood inspired generations worldwide.

Elisabeth's story continues to challenge and encourage all who seek to follow Christ wholeheartedly, regardless of the cost.

New parts for thirty of Shakespeare''s women, letting them speak their minds, written by famed stage and screen actress, Dame Harriet Walter DBE''It is STUNNING and I simply sat and read it right through, and shall start again at once. I had no idea that she is such a sensationally fine poet. Astonishing'' JOANNA LUMLEY''Bold and original . . . Anyone who cares about Shakespeare will want to own and share this book''JAMES SHAPIRO''With her gravitas, empathy, intellect and absolute belly laugh wit, the unheard voices soar. A real celebration of her life and art'' PHYLLIDA LLOYDDame Harriet Walter, renowned for her wonderful portrayals in Succession and Killing Eve among others, is one of Britain''s most esteemed Shakespearean actors. Now, having played most of the Bard''s female characters, audaciously she lets them speak their minds.Written in ''Shakespearean'' verse and prose, Harriet Walter goes between the lines of the plays to let us hear what she imagines - sometimes playfully and sometimes searchingly - these women were really thinking.Gertrude tells Hamlet the unvarnished truth; Lady MacBeth has her regrets; Kate, the Shrew, challenges us; Juliet''s nurse challenges the nobility; Cleopatra''s handmaiden reveals her mistress''s secrets; Ariel is frightened of freedom; Ophelia surprises us; Olivia surprises herself; and the Witches have a good old rap.Harriet Walter herself says, ''I worship Shakespeare. His psychological insight is second to none but the mirror that he held up to nature reflected a predominantly male image of the world. I pondered the long shadow of his genius and tried to think of ways to let a little sunlight in on some of his women''s stories. I like to think he wouldn''t mind''.''Harriet Walter''s years of inhabiting and imbibing so many of those great roles gives her a special licence to speak for them'' GREG DORAN, former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company''Harriet Walter unpicks and re-centres the inner life and journey of these women as only one of our most talented and celebrated classical actors could.

Raffael Boriés se coby mladý muž seznámil s nejslavnější cvičitelkou jógy tehdejší doby v Curychu. Stal se jejím žákem a zůstal jím až do její smrti v létě 1994.Elizabeth Haichová byla známá milionovému publiku především díky svému světovému bestselleru „Zasvěcení“. Její knihy byly přeloženy do všech světových jazyků, a ještě dnes se mnoho jógových škol odvolává na učení zprostředkované Elisabeth Haichovou a jejím jógovým partnerem Selvarajanem Yesudianem.O čem však věděli pouze insideři z jejího curyšského okolí: pravidelně pořádala spirituální sezení o malém počtu účastníků. Tato setkávání bylo možné nazývat jako „Ezoterické hodiny“, podobně jako u Rudolfa Steinera.Až do dnešního dne se nic z těchto materiálů nezveřejnilo. Poprvé je tu publikace vycházející z originálních rukopisů – poznámek z přednáškových večerů v jógovém centru v Curychu. Vznikl jedinečný dokument zachycující mluvené slovo Elisabeth Haichové. Zprostředkuje vám zcela nový pohled na její život a učení.Elisabeth Haichová byla „velkou dámou jógy“ v německy mluvících zemích. Její slavná jógová škola v Ticinu byla středobodem četných duchovních hledajících z celého světa. Po vydání „Zasvěcení“, přeloženého do mnoha světových jazyků, se musela částečně odmlčet, aby unikla nezměrné popularitě. V červenci 1994 se vrátila do světa, o němž uměla podávat živá svědectví.

The wooden holiday cabin, or hytte, is a staple of Norwegian life. Robert Ferguson, author of Scandinavians, explores the significance of a national icon in this charming, affectionate history.Turf-roofed and wooden-built, offering fresh air, breathtaking views and peaceful isolation, the wooden cabin home – or hytte – is a crucial part of Norwegian national identity. In 2016, Robert Ferguson and his wife bought a piece of land high up in the Hardangervidda, and on it they built a cabin.As the cabin takes shape, Ferguson learns how native Norwegians have married a new-found urban affluence to their past as a tight-knit rural community-nation, and confronts his own ideas about the dream-tradition of the hytte, drawing an affectionate but unsentimental portrait of Norwegian culture, society and landscape.''Singular and captivating: the pursuit of a dream'' Professor John Carey''Illuminating'' TLS''An uncompromising journey into the dark cold north, to reveal the warmth that comes from deep community bonds'' Tim Ecott

Highly recommended.'' - Secret Barrister‘Every feminist should know Harriet Wistrich’s name. There is no one better to learn from if you want to Get Shit Done.’ Helen Lewis, author of Difficult Women*****For more than quarter of a century, Harriet Wistrich has fought the corner of people from all walks of life let down by our justice system.She has been at the forefront of some historic and ground-breaking legal victories, from helping the victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys, to representing a pioneering group of the women caught up in the ‘spy cops’ scandal – women deceived into forming long-term relationships with men later revealed to be undercover police officers.Litigation can be a long and rocky path of pitfalls and dead ends and there are defeats as well as gains, hours of painstaking work as well as courtroom drama.It takes collaboration, extraordinary tenacity and huge compassion, but Harriet Wistrich is proof that it is possible to demand better justice and to bring about important change.Exploring landmark cases, Sister in Law covers the shocking true stories demonstrating that, terrifyingly often, the law is not-fit-for-purpose for half the population and shines a feminist light on the landscape of arcane laws and systems skewed towards men.*****Praise for Sister in Law:‘Shocking, compelling and invigorating... A must read from one of the foremost feminist human rights lawyers today'' Keina Yoshida & Jen Robinson''A brilliant lawyer. A brilliant book'' - Baroness Helena Kennedy KC''Harriet''s innovative, intense and courageous commitment to safeguarding basic rights, is compellingly set out in every chapter.'' - Michael Mansfield KC‘A vivid account of cases in which the justice system has spectacularly failed women but also of how injustices can be challenged if only we know enough and care enough to do so.’ Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE''If I was ever in trouble, I would want Harriet Wistrich fighting in my corner.'' - Emeritus Professor David Wilson, author of My Life with Murderers

''It is STUNNING and I simply sat and read it right through, and shall start again at once. I had no idea that she is such a sensationally fine poet. Astonishing'' JOANNA LUMLEY''Harriet Walter unpicks and re-centres the inner life and journey of these women as only one of our most talented and celebrated classical actors could. A must read!'' MAXINE PEAKE''Bold and original . . . Anyone who cares about Shakespeare will want to own and share this book''JAMES SHAPIRO, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William ShakespeareDame Harriet Walter, renowned for her wonderful portrayals in Succession and Killing Eve among others, is one of Britain''s most esteemed Shakespearean actors. Now, having played most of the Bard''s female characters, audaciously she lets them speak their minds.With thirty new parts for Shakespeare''s women, written in ''Shakespearean'' verse and prose, Harriet Walter goes between the lines of the plays to let us hear what she imagines - sometimes playfully and sometimes searchingly - these women were really thinking. Gertrude tells Hamlet the unvarnished truth; Lady MacBeth has her regrets; Kate, the Shrew, challenges us; Juliet''s nurse challenges the nobility; Cleopatra''s handmaiden reveals her mistress''s secrets; Ariel is frightened of freedom; Ophelia surprises us; Olivia surprises herself; and the Witches have a good old rap.Harriet Walter herself says, ''I worship Shakespeare. His psychological insight is second to none but the mirror that he held up to nature reflected a predominantly male image of the world. I pondered the long shadow of his genius and tried to think of ways to let a little sunlight in on some of his women''s stories. I like to think he wouldn''t mind''.''An incisive, funny, mischievously subversive homage to Shakespeare''s heroines, written by one of mine'' MEERA SYAL''With characteristic wit, compassion and fierce intelligence, she gives tantalising voice to the Bard''s female greats'' TAMSIN GREIG''Effortlessly witty, charming, surprising, delightful. Clearly, Harriet Walter should have been in thewriters'' room with us for Succession'' FRANCESCA GARDINER

True magic is found among the bluebells and bramblesHarriet Hunt is completely alone. Her father disappeared months ago, leaving her to wander the halls of Sunnyside house, dwelling on a past she’d rather keep buried. She doesn’t often venture beyond her front gate, instead relishing the feel of dirt under her fingernails and of soft moss beneath her feet.Consequently, she’s been deemed a little too peculiar for popular Victorian society. This solitary life suits her fine, though – because, outside, magic awaits. Harriet’s garden is special.It’s a wild place full of twisting ivy, vibrant plums, and a quiet power that buzzes like bees. Caring for this place, and keeping it from running rampant through the streets of her London suburb, is Harriet’s purpose. But a woman alone in the world is vulnerable.Soon, a sinister plot involving her father’s disappearance begins to take shape, with Harriet herself at its center. Everything she holds dear – from the thorny roses she tends to her very freedom itself – is at stake. To save herself, Harriet will have to unearth her past, discover the secrets of her garden, and finally embrace the wild magic inside of her.

Sunday Times Top 5 bestselling author Harriet Evans returns with an unputdownable tale of the infinite possibilities of families - how they can anchor you or unseat you - and why unconditional love holds the key to true freedom. ''A boldly sombre atmosphere haunts the latest novel by Harriet Evans, the doyenne of [commercial fiction]'' Observer''Immersive, engrossing and ultimately beautiful'' Marian Keyes''No one except Harriet Evans writes books like this anymore; The Stargazers is a work of genius and a future classic'' Jane Casey''Don''t you think there should be a name for people like us?'' he said.

''That''s what we are''It''s the 1970s, and Sarah has spent a lifetime trying to bury memories of her childhood: the constant fear, the horror of her school days, and Fane, the vast, crumbling house that was the sole obsession of her mother, Iris, a woman as beautiful as she was cruel. Sarah''s solace has been her cello and the music that allowed her to dream, transporting her from the bleakness of those early years to her new life with her husband Daniel in their safe, if slightly chaotic, Hampstead home and with a concert career that has brought her fame and restored a sense of self.The past, though, has a habit of creeping into the present, and as long as Sarah tries to escape, it seems the pull of her mother, Fane Hall and the secrets hidden there cannot be suppressed, threatening to unravel the fragile happiness she enjoys now. Sarah will need to travel back to Fane to confront her childhood, and search for the true meaning of home.Deliciously absorbing and rich with character and atmosphere, The Stargazers is the story of a house, a family, and finding the strength inside yourself to carry on.Readers love The Stargazers:''I absolutely loved this book . . . it was both beautiful and melancholy.

Kniha - autor Raffael Boriés, česky Raffael Boriés se coby mladý muž seznámil s nejslavnější cvičitelkou jógy tehdejší doby v Curychu. Stal se jejím žákem a zůstal jím až do její smrti v létě 1994. Elizabeth Haichová byla známá milionovému publiku především díky svému světovému bestselleru „Zasvěcení“. Její knihy byly přeloženy do všech světových jazyků, a ještě dnes se mnoho jógových škol odvolává na učení zprostředkované Elisabeth Haichovou a jejím jógovým partnerem Selvarajanem Yesudianem. O čem však věděli pouze insideři z jejího curyšského okolí: pravidelně pořádala spirituální sezení o malém počtu účastníků. Tato setkávání bylo možné nazývat jako „Ezoterické hodiny“, podobně jako u Rudolfa Steinera. Až do dnešního dne se nic z těchto materiálů nezveřejnilo.
