Brothers of Pity and Other Tales of Beasts and Men - Enchanting Tales of Humans and Animals in Victorian Era

Juliana Horatia Ewing

Sinopsis

In "Brothers of Pity and Other Tales of Beasts and Men," Juliana Horatia Ewing masterfully weaves a tapestry of whimsical narratives that explore the intricate relationships between humans and animals. Employing a lyrical yet accessible prose style, Ewing draws upon elements of Victorian moralism and fairy tale structure, creating stories that resonate with both children and adults. The thematic exploration of empathy, kindness, and the moral dilemmas faced by her characters invites readers to reflect on nature, society, and the essence of humanity itself, making this collection both engaging and thought-provoking. Juliana Horatia Ewing was an influential figure in children's literature during the Victorian era, known for her innovative storytelling and vivid imagination. As a member of a well-connected literary family, her upbringing was steeped in art and intellectual discourse, shaping her sensitivity towards moral questions and the natural world. Ewing's unique position as a female author allowed her to articulate complex themes of compassion and understanding in a society often focused on rigid moral lessons, thus enriching the literary landscape of her time. "Brothers of Pity and Other Tales of Beasts and Men" is a delightful read for those who appreciate intricate tales that transcend mere storytelling. Ewing's ability to merge fantasy with ethical reflections makes this collection an essential part of not only children's literature but also broader literary studies. I highly recommend this work for both young readers seeking adventure and adults searching for deeper insights into the human condition through the lens of animal companionship.

Famous Women in History: Ida B...

Nicole Orr

A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
