La case de l'oncle Tom Harriet Beecher Stowe Texte intégral. Cet ouvrage a fait l'objet d'un véritable travail en vue d'une édition numérique . Un travail typographique le rend facile et agréable à lire. La Case de l'oncle Tom (Uncle Tom's Cabin) est un roman de l'écrivain américaine Harriet Beecher Stowe. Publié d'abord sous forme de feuilleton en 1852, il valut le succès immédiat à son auteur. Le roman eut un profond impact sur l'état d'esprit général vis-à-vis des Afro-Américains et de l'esclavage aux États-Unis ; il fut l'une des raisons de l'intensification des conflits qui menèrent à la Guerre de Sécession. Stowe, née dans le Connecticut et pasteur à la Hartford Female Academy, était une abolitionniste convaincue. Elle centra son roman sur le personnage de l'oncle Tom, un esclave noir patient et tolérant autour duquel se déroulent les histoires d'autres personnages, aussi bien esclaves que blancs. Ce roman sentimental dépeint la réalité de l'esclavage tout en affirmant que l'amour chrétien peut surmonter une épreuve aussi destructrice que l'esclavage d'êtres humains. La Case de l'oncle Tom fut le roman le plus vendu du xixe siècle et le second livre le plus vendu de ce même siècle, derrière la Bible.

What do expectations and social problems have to do with romance? How much does society decide who you should be with? Harry and Eva are about to find out! In this sequel to Stowe’s famous novel 'My Wife and I', Harry and Eva continue their relationship in New York only to find their romance has never been quite so challenging. Skeptical of women’s roles and their domestic positions, the story criticizes stale social norms. Lighthearted and entertaining, but also calling for a change, this is a delightful read reminiscent of other social critics such as Charles Dickens and Louisa May Alcott. 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 adapted to the movie screen 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.

Quando Arthur Shelby e la sua famiglia sono sul punto di perdere la loro fattoria, Arthur decide di vendere due dei suoi schiavi a un mercante di schiavi per saldare i suoi debiti. Lo zio Tom, un uomo di famiglia di mezza età e amico intimo del figlio di Arthur, è uno di loro. L'altro schiavo, Harry, fugge con la madre nel cuore della notte per raggiungere il Canada, dove potranno vivere da persone libere insieme al padre di Harry, che era scappato in precedenza. I due fuggiaschi sono inseguiti per il paese da un cacciatore di schiavi instancabile e spietato, mentre lo zio Tom, separato dalla sua famiglia, cerca di sopravvivere nel suo nuovo ambiente. Quando il romanzo di Harriet Beecher Stowe "La capanna dello zio Tom" fu pubblicato nel 1852, ci fu una protesta da parte degli stati meridionali americani, dove la schiavitù era ancora considerata una misura naturale e necessaria. Molti credono che questo romanzo, ampiamente distribuito, abbia in parte gettato le basi della guerra civile americana, mettendo fine alla schiavitù, una volta per tutte.

With a subtitle like "A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp" you would be forgiven for thinking that this book is an antidote to joy, and when on top of that, you discover that Dred is not in fact Dredd - as in Judge Dredd, futuristic cop played by Sylvester Stallone in the 1995 movie of the same name - vigor and optimism might leave your body entirely. But fear not, somebody left the Stowe on after "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Harriet is back with a vengeance. The Great Dismal Swamp was a swamp in Virginia inhabited by thousands of escaped slaves for about 150 years in 18th and 19th century, one of whom is the titular character, Dred, an outspoken revolutionary. The story, however, is Nina Gordon's – the heiress of a failing plantation, her idealistic, liberal husband and their humane relationship with their slaves. In some circles touted as superior to "Uncle Tom's Cabin", "Dred" is a slow-burning drama full of engaging characters sprinkled with the writer's abolitionist viewpoints. A solid pick if you had preferred Uncle Tom to have been more of a Malcolm X.

A typical love story between Harry, the narrator, who comes to New York to work in the publishing business, and Eva, the daughter of a well-to-do financier on Wall Street. Excelling in narration and nostalgic feelings about the lost, nature-oriented American past, Stowe’s novel focuses upon the importance of family, religion, and traditions. A nice and light reading, dealing with less harsh and painful topics than "Uncle Tom", but indulging in some serious matters nonetheless.
