Joel Chandler Harris

    9. prosinec 1848 – 3. červenec 1908

    Joel Chandler Harris byl americký novinář a spisovatel, známý především svými příběhy strýčka Remuse. Jeho díla čerpala z africko-americké ústní vypravěčské tradice a byla průkopnická v používání dialektu a v postavě lišáckého hrdiny Králíka bratra. Králík bratr se snaží pomocí své chytrosti překonat nepřízeň osudu, i když ne vždy s úspěchem. Tyto příběhy, které se začaly objevovat v novinách a rychle si získaly oblibu u čtenářů všech ras a regionů, často zobrazovaly idealizovaný pohled na rasové vztahy v období po občanské válce.

      Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 - July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution. Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris, he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady (1880-1889), stressing regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era. As Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process.

    • Čtyřiatřicet veselých historek vypráví černý strýček Rémus sedmiletému Joelovi. Vítězí v nich chytrost a důvtip a jejich hrdinové pocházejí ze zvířecí říše (Vlk, Lišák, Králík, Želva, Luňák, Vrabčák, Medvěd). Proč strýček vypráví jadrnou lidovou řečí, dozvíte se z poznámky překladatele I. Poldaufa nazvané "Že se taklenc nemá mluvit?" Knížka je doplněna vysvětlivkami a vychází s půvabnými ilustracemi O. Janečka, který dokáže zachytit radost, smutek i bezradnost na portrétech zvířecích hrdinů.
