Project Gutenberg 2006-01-13 Public domain in the USA. 6204 Stowe, Harriet Beecher 1811 1896 Stowe, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Crowfield, Christopher Stowe, H. B. (Harriet Beecher) Uncle Tom's Cabin Judith Boss, an Anonymous Volunteer and David Widger "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century that explores the moral complexities surrounding slavery in America. The story introduces us to a variety of characters affected by the institution of slavery, focusing particularly on Uncle Tom, a devout and dignified enslaved man, alongside other figures like Eliza, who is desperate to save her child from being sold, reflecting the heart-wrenching realities of such a system. The opening of the book sets the stage in Kentucky, where Mr. Shelby, in financial distress, contemplates selling Uncle Tom and the young boy Harry to settle debts while conversing with the trader Haley. Through their dialogue, Stowe highlights the inhumane circumstances under which slaves are viewed as property rather than human beings, and we witness the initial stirrings of turmoil that compel Eliza to flee with her son upon hearing of their impending sale. The emotional depth and ethical dilemmas presented in these early chapters lay the groundwork for a powerful narrative that challenges readers to confront the harsh truths of slavery.
