Bøger af Harriet Beecher Stowe

I Onkel Toms hytte følger vi den gode, pligtopfyldende slave Tom. I starten af bogen er Tom en dybt værdsat og betroet slave hos en rar, hvid familie i Kentucky, men da familien kommer i store økonomiske problemer, bliver de – meget imod deres vilje – nødt til at sælge Tom. Han ender til sidst hos den brutale slaveejer Legree i Louisiana. I mellemtiden arbejder han som slave forskellige steder, men må leve adskilt fra sin kone og sine børn. Ud over Tom hører man bl.a. om Eliza og hendes mand George, der stikker af i håbet om at opnå frihed i Canada, om den lille, hvide pige Eva, der tydeligt fornemmer slavernes lidelse, og som bliver tæt knyttet til Tom, og om den uvidende slavepige Topsy, der bliver Evas veninde.Onkel Toms hytte var den mest solgte roman i 1800-tallet og den anden mest solgte bog overhovedet – kun overgået af Bibelen. Den findes i dag på næsten alverdens sprog, og selvom den oprindeligt er skrevet for voksne, har den erobret en sikker plads i den klassiske ungdomslitteratur.

Stowe's rich, panoramic novel passionately dramatises why the whole of America is implicated in and responsible for the sin of slavery

Da Arthur Shelby og hans familie står over for at miste deres gård, beslutter han sig for at sælge to slaver til en slavehandler for at kunne betale sin gæld. Onkel Tom, en midaldrende familiefar og nær ven af Arthurs søn, er en af dem. Den anden slave, Harry, flygter med sin mor i ly af natten for at nå til Canada, hvor de kan leve som frie mennesker sammen med Harrys far, der tidligere er stukket af. De to flygtninge jages gennem landet af en utrættelig og nådesløs slavejæger, og imens forsøger Onkel Tom at overleve i sine nye omgivelser adskilt fra sin familie.Da Harriet Beecher Stowes roman "Onkel Toms hytte" udkom i 1852, lød der et ramaskrig fra de amerikanske sydstater, hvor slaveriet stadig blev set som en naturlig og uundværlig foranstaltning. Mange mener, at romanen, der blev solgt i enorme oplag, var med til at fremprovokere den amerikanske borgerkrig, hvor der blev gjort op med slaveriet én gang for alle.Den amerikanske forfatter Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) var en stor forkæmper for slaveriets ophævelse, og hendes roman "Onkel Toms hytte" fra 1852 spillede en stor rolle i optakten til den amerikanske borgerkrig, som resulterede i, at slaveriet endeligt blev ophævet. Harriet Beecher Stowe skrev i alt 30 bøger, og hun har både som forfatter og offentlig debattør haft en stor indflydelse på det amerikanske samfund.

Den klassiske fortælling om negerslaveriet i USA's sydstaterne behøver ikke mange ord med på vejen - denne udgave er med mange illustrationer af Poul Steffensen.

The Times seems to think that, in order to be consistent, I ought to take up the conflict immediately; but, for my part, I think otherwise. What an unreasonable creature! Does he suppose me so lost to all due sense of humility as to take out of his hands a cause which he is pleading so well? If the plantation slaves had such a good friend as the Times, and if every over-worked female cotton picker could write as clever letters as this dressmaker's apprentice, and get them published in as influential papers, and excite as general a sensation by them as this seems to have done, I think I should feel that there was no need of my interfering in a work so much better done.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This volume of essays and short stories by Harriet Beecher Stowe was written under the pseudonym Christopher Crowfield. As with many women of her time, Stowe took on a male pseudonym in order to make her work more acceptable to male dominated literary outlets, such as the Atlantic Monthly, where these works were originally published. Focusing on the domestic American household of the 1860s, the short pieces comment on the changes wrought by the Civil War. The wartime economic boom brought inexpensive consumer goods to more households. What was once a homey, comfortable parlor, the center of family activity, became a showplace, locked up like a museum. Simple home life became more complex. And Stowe, alias Crowfield, with her precise eye for social phenomena, found this domestic change worth chronicling.
