Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harret Beecher Stowe 1981 Printing Uncle Tom, Topsy, Simon Legree, LIttle Eva: their names are American bywords, and all of them are characters in Harriet Beecher Stowe's remarkable novel of the pre-Civil War South. Uncle Tom's Cabin was revolutionary in 1852 for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, "a man of humanity," as the first black hero in American fiction. It remains a shocking, controvexrsial, and powerful work - exposing the attitudes of white nineteenth-century society toward the peculiar Institution "and documenting, in heartrending detail, the tragic breakup of black Kentucky famllies" sold down the river. ✨️Pages in unmarked, unread condition.
