Produktbeschreibung
"Beautiful Joe" by Marshall Saunders is a touching and enduring tale of resilience, compassion, and the transformative electricity of affection. The novel is narrated via Joe, a canine who has suffered cruelty at the arms of his owner but finds redemption and a new lifestyle with the sort Morris own family. The story unfolds in the small metropolis of Fairport, in which Joe undergoes a series of trials that take a look at his spirit. His physical deformities, an end result of the abuse he continued, function a poignant metaphor for the broader topic of societal cruelty and the potential for recuperation. The Morris own family, led via the compassionate Laura, offers a stark evaluation to the cruelty Joe experienced, supplying him a second hazard at happiness. Through Joe's eyes, Saunders crafts a narrative that now not most effective champions the reason of animal welfare but also underscores the wider concepts of empathy and kindness. "Beautiful Joe" became a landmark painting inside the animal welfare movement, prompting social trade and galvanizing readers to rethink their treatment of animals.

Autorenporträt
Margaret Marshall Saunders CBE was a prolific Canadian writer of children's stories and romantic novels, a lecturer, and an animal rights champion. She was an active member of Halifax's Local Council of Women. Saunders was born on April 13, 1861, in Milton, Nova Scotia, the fourth child of Reverend Edmund M. and Maria (née Freeman) Saunders. She spent the majority of her upbringing in Berwick, Nova Scotia, where her father was a Baptist minister. She studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Orleans, France at the age of 15, before returning to Halifax and taking classes at Dalhousie for a year before starting her freelance writing career. In response to the male-dominated environment of the publishing industry, she changed her name to Marshall Saunders. Saunders is best known for her novel Beautiful Joe. It relates the true story of a dog from Meaford, Ontario, who as a puppy had his ears and tail cut off by an abusive owner before being saved by a Meaford family whose lives he eventually saves.
