Overview
āUncle Tomās Cabin is the most powerful and enduring work of art ever written about American slaveryā-Alfred Kazin
āTo expose oneself in maturity to Uncle Tomās cabin mayā¦prove a startling experienceā-Edmund Wilson
In Uncle Tomās Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe created Americaās first black literary hero as well as the nationās antecedent protest novel. The novelās vast influence on attitudes towards African American slavery was considered an incitation towards the American Civil War; conjointly, its powerful anti-slavery message resonated with readers around the world at its time of publication.
With unashamed sentimentality and expressions of faith, Harriet Beecher Stowe, in Uncle Tomās Cabin tells the story of the lives of African American slaves from a Kentucky plantation; The masterās maid, Eliza; her son, Henry; and, of course, Uncle Tom, the righteous and kind protagonist at the center of the book. When Arthur Selby, a Kentucky slave-owner decides to sell his slaves due to dire financial turns, Eliza runs away with her son, and Tom is sold to a slave trader named Haley. On a Mississippi river boat, Tomās fortunes are revered after he rescues Eva, a young white girl, from drowning. Evaās kind father is so moved by Tomās bravery that he buys him from Haley and brings him into his New Orleans home. In the series of calamitous events that follow, Tom ultimately finds himself in the bondage of the diabolical master Simon Legree. Still provoking controversies to this day, this is one of American literatureās most important works of social justice.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Uncle Tomās Cabin is both modern and readable.
