Publisher's Synopsis
EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION
Read one of the Greatest American novels of all time in a beautiful edition.
Uncle Tom's Cabin or "Life Among the Lowly" is an anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
First published in 1852, this best seller follows the lives of two slaves in Southern United States: Eliza, who escapes slavery with her son, and Tom, African-American slave who must endure humiliation, abuse, and torture inflicted by his wealthy owners.
This fiction embodies the conflict lived among America North and South and has contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. It also asserts the author's strong belief that Christian love can overcome the worst injustices and reaffirms the importance of women's influence.
This outstanding work is a story of faith, courage, determination, perseverance and the struggle for freedom. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.
Referred to as "Great American Novel", it is doubtless the greatest book of anti-slavery ever written.
