Beschreibung

In "Fighting for the Right," Oliver Optic presents a compelling tale of moral courage and personal sacrifice set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. The narrative follows a group of young heroes who navigate the turbulent waters of conflict, embodying the virtues of honor and bravery. Optic's literary style is characterized by its vivid descriptions and didactic elements, which serve to instill a sense of righteousness in the struggle for justice. This work, situated within the context of 19th-century American literature, reflects the burgeoning themes of patriotism and the quest for moral clarity amidst chaos, resonating with the era's youth literature that sought to inspire and inform the readers about pressing societal issues. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was a prominent American author whose career spanned the late 19th century. His background in education and his deep involvement with youth-oriented narratives informed his writing ethos, particularly his desire to instill tenacity and ethical conviction in young minds. His extensive experience in teaching and his commitment to moral instruction deeply influenced the themes and character development in "Fighting for the Right," paralleling his view of literature as a vehicle for character building. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that merges adventure with moral philosophy. Optic's engaging narrative encourages reflection on the values of integrity and courage, making it a vital read for both young adults and anyone interested in the moral complexities of wartime America.

    Lotte Reiniger (1899–1981) was a German film director and animator best known for The Adventures of Prince Achmed, which was released in 1926 and is the oldest surviving animated movie. (It came out a full eleven years before Disney’s Snow White!) As a little kid, Reiniger loved reading fairytales and fell in love with puppetry. At school, she learned about paperschnitte, or papercuts, which helped her create her signature style of silhouettes. She grew up to make more than forty films throughout her long career, most of which were fairytales that used her stop-film animation technique of hand-cut silhouettes. Reiniger is now seen as the foremost pioneer of silhouette animation and the inventor of an early form of the multiplane camera.
