"Uncle Tom's Cabin is the most powerful and enduring work of art
ever written about American slavery"-Alfred Kazin "To expose
oneself in maturity to Uncle Tom's cabin may...prove a startling
experience"-Edmund Wilson In Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher
Stowe created America's first black literary hero as well as the
nation's antecedent protest novel. The novel's 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 Tom's Cabin tells the
story of the lives of African American slaves from a Kentucky
plantation; The master's 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, Tom's fortunes are revered after he rescues
Eva, a young white girl, from drowning. Eva's kind father is so
moved by Tom's 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 literature's most important works
of social justice. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Uncle Tom's
Cabin is both modern and readable.
