Uncle Tom’s Cabin brought the evils of slavery to the hearts and minds of the American people by its moving portrayal of slave experience.Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition has an afterword by Pat Righelato.Harriet Beecher Stowe shows us, in scenes of great dramatic power, the human effects of a system in which slaves were property. When a Kentucky farmer falls on hard times he is forced to sell his slaves, and among them is Uncle Tom, who’s bought by a brutal plantation owner. The novel describes the horror of plantation labour and Tom’s fight for his freedom and his life. A rallying cry to end slavery in America and one of the most influential American novels, Uncle Tom’s Cabin remains, to this day, controversial and abrasive in its demand for change.

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.

Beecher Stowe’s vivid descriptions uncover the harrowing situations faced by slaves in Civil War America.When a Kentucky farmer faces financial ruin, he reluctantly sells his slaves, and Uncle Tom finds himself the property of a cruel plantation owner, fighting for his freedom and ultimately, for his right to live. With a rich narrative and wonderfully realised characters, this is a panoramic, incredibly accomplished work. Originally published to much acclaim in 1852, it quickly established Harriet Beecher Stowe as one of America’s most influential female novelists and was crucial in helping to secure the abolition of slavery.

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.

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.

Mädi. Tak říkali Elisabeth Giselle hraběnce Dubské, jejíž život je jako románový příběh, který není snadné přestat číst, odložit nebo jen tak zapomenout. Její paměti, původně určené jen nejbližší rodině, jsou dechberoucím svědectvím života statečné ženy stržené vírem světových dějin. Elisabeth byla potomkem starého českého rodu Dubských z Třebomyslic, který se již v 16. století usadil na Moravě. Mezi Elisabethinými předky nalezneme významné diplomaty, vojáky i politiky, její pratetou byla Marie Ebner-Eschenbach, slavná německy píšící spisovatelka srovnávaná s naší Boženou Němcovou. Moravští patrioti německého jazyka, to byli Dubští, a to byla i Elisabeth. Ve svých pamětech nic nezamlčuje, upřímně popisuje soužití Čechů a Němců v Československu, svůdnost projevů německého vlastenectví, nutnost vyrovnat se s nacismem, hrůzy druhé světové války, neméně krutý nástup komunismu i sladkobolná léta v emigraci. Paměti Elisabeth Whitby, rozené hraběnky Dubské, jsou strhujícím čtením, kterému nechybí nic z velkých románových příběhů - něha, vášnivá láska, smrt, bolest, ponížení, nespravedlnost…, ale také naděje, síla ducha a touha žít, které nakonec pomohou překonat i nepřekonatelné.

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. Selah Helms presents an intimate portrait of this extraordinary woman whose life exemplified complete surrender to God's will—whether in the jungles of Ecuador or the changing cultural landscape of America. Elisabeth's story continues to challenge and encourage all who seek to follow Christ wholeheartedly, regardless of the cost.

The Stoker Award-winning, taut and propulsive twist on home invasion horror, packed psychological suspense. Soon to be a major film, Knock At the Cabin, directed by M. Night Shyamalan.Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction.As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.

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.

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. 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....
