Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe Libri

    Harriet Beecher Stowe fu un'autrice e abolizionista americana la cui opera divenne una forza fondamentale contro la schiavitù. La sua scrittura esplorò a fondo i dilemmi morali e le ingiustizie sociali della sua epoca. Attraverso narrazioni avvincenti e personaggi potenti, rese complessi problemi politici tangibili a un vasto pubblico. La sua eredità letteraria risiede nella capacità di trasformare la letteratura in un catalizzatore per il cambiamento sociale e il risveglio morale.

    • Chaloupka strýčka Toma

      Známý román, jehož děj se odehrává kolem r. 1850 na Jihu Spojených států amerických, vypráví o krutosti otrokářství, ale také o odvaze těch, kteří se snažili tento nelidský systém změnit. Pan Shelby je vážený a poměrně zámožný muž, ale vlastní vinou se dostane do dluhů. Jeho směnka se dostane do rukou otrokáři, který chce situaci vyřešit koupí některých Shelbyho otroků. Vybere si nejcennějšího otroka Toma a malého Harryho, syna manželčiny komorné Elizy. Tom situaci přijímá trpně, protože chápe, že když to nebude on, bude to někdo jiný. Eliza se ale svého dítěte odmítá vzdát a v noci uprchne. Tak se román rozvětvuje na dvě dějové linie. Cestu Elizy a dalších otroků za svobodou a cestu Toma, který s dalšími podobně postiženými čeká, kdo se stane jeho novým pánem.
