Forlagsbeskrivelse af Uncle Sam's Emancipation; Earthly Care, A Heavenly Discipline; and Other Sketches af Harriet Beecher-Stowe
Why did Christians preach about loving their neighbours and yet keep their fellow humans as slaves? Ups and downs with Stowe's own family, and the inhumanity of slavery are the focus of this collection of essays.
The obvious inequality spurred Stowe to get involved with the 'Fugitive Slave Act' which came to be important for the emancipation of slaves. Written with careful and detailed insight, this book is recommended for both history-lovers and curious souls because of its compelling portrayal of life and slavery in the South.
A thorn in the angry eyes of American slave owners, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist. Her novel, 'Uncle Tom’s Cabin' (1852), became one of the most famous literary attacks on slavery at the time. The novel was also turned into a play and made into movies more than once.
The latest version from 1987 features Samuel L. Jackson, one of the most popular actors of his generation.
Stowe also wrote numerous travel memoirs, letters, articles, and short stories – all crucial to the depiction of the injustice of African Americans we still hear about today.
