Uncle Toms Cabin' - Beecher Stowe Harriet

This startlingly raw tale of a man and boy sold into slavery and the hardships they face was one of the first to address the subject of slavery and what it truly meant.Stowe's controversial novel combines an overarching focus on the movement against slavery and Christianity with an adventurous, yet tragic storyline and memorable characters, and is as poignant today as it was 150 years ago.
