Beschreibung

""Principle and Practice or The Orphan Family: A Tale"" is a novel written by Harriet Martineau and published in 1827. The story revolves around the lives of a group of orphans who are taken in by a wealthy family. The main theme of the book is the conflict between the principles of Christianity and the realities of daily life. The orphans are raised with strict moral values and principles, but they soon find that the world outside their sheltered environment is not so idealistic. The novel explores the challenges faced by the orphans as they struggle to reconcile their beliefs with the harsh realities of life. The book is hailed as a classic of Victorian literature and is considered one of Martineau's most important works. It is a poignant and thought-provoking tale that explores the complexities of human nature and the struggle to maintain one's principles in a world that often seems to be at odds with them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

British social theorist, author, and journalist Harriet Martineau (1802 1876) is renowned for her important contributions to literature, sociology, and economics, among other subjects. Martineau was born in Norwich, England, on June 12, 1802, and had to overcome obstacles at a young age because he was deaf and had little money. In the 1820s, Martineau started her creative career and became well-known for her novels and children's books. She is most recognized, nevertheless, for her revolutionary contributions to political economy and sociology. She was one of the first sociologists because of her "Illustrations of Political Economy" series, which she wrote in the 1830s and used fiction to tackle difficult economic and social themes. Martineau overcame obstacles relating to gender during her career, but her brilliance and dedication to social justice endured. She made a lot of trips later in life and kept writing about a variety of subjects, including her experiences in the Middle East. Beyond her own century, Harriet Martineau left a lasting impact on feminists and sociologists of later generations.
