Harriet Beecher Stowe
Uncle Tom's Cabin
eBook
( Aug. 12, 2014)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. At a dark time in American history, when an entire race of people were subjugated, by rote, to the horrors of human bondage, few were brave enough to tell the truth about the horrific realities, yet Harriet Beecher Stowe, in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, did. After its 1852 publication, this story, depicting the title character’s brutal enslavement and forever changing how Americans – and the world – thought about slavery, went on to become the best-selling novel of the 19th century, a shocking feat for both its subject matter and the fact that it was authored by a woman.
