SynopsisThe novel that changed the course of American history Published in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel was a powerful indictment of slavery in America. Describing the many trials and eventual escape to freedom of the long-suffering, good-hearted slave Uncle Tom, it aimed to show how Christian love can overcome any human cruelty. Uncle Tom's Cabin has remained controversial to this day, seen as either a vital milestone in the anti-slavery cause or as a patronising stereotype of African-Americans, yet it played a crucial role in the eventual abolition of slavery and remains one of the most important American novels ever written. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

An important book, but not an easy read.
I started to read the book for its historical importance, but after a few pages, gave up. The author wrote a lot of the dialogue in the colloquialisms of the time and culture that the book is set in, which makes it difficult for the modern reader to follow easily. I may try again in the future, but for now, I don't have the patience.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
