EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION
Read one of the Greatest American novels of all time in a beautiful edition.
Uncle Tom's Cabin or "Life Among the Lowly" is an anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
First published in 1852, this best seller follows the lives of two slaves in Southern United States: Eliza, who escapes slavery with her son, and Tom, African-American slave who must endure humiliation, abuse, and torture inflicted by his wealthy owners.
This fiction embodies the conflict lived among America North and South and has contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. It also asserts the author's strong belief that Christian love can overcome the worst injustices and reaffirms the importance of women's influence.
This outstanding work is a story of faith, courage, determination, perseverance and the struggle for freedom. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.
Referred to as "Great American Novel", it is doubtless the greatest book of anti-slavery ever written.
Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was an American active abolitionist and author, born into a prominent family of preachers. She was influential for both her writings and her public stands on social issues of the day.

About the Author:
Harriet Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was raised in a deeply religious family and educated in a seminary school run by her elder sister. In her adult life, Stowe married biblical scholar and abolitionist Calvin Ellis Stowe, who would later go on to work as Harriet s literary agent, and the two participated in the Underground Railroad by providing temporary refuge for escaped slaves travelling to the American North. Shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Stowe published her most famous work, Uncle Tom s Cabin, a stark and sympathetic depiction of the desperate lives of African American slaves. The book went on to see unprecedented sales, and informed American and European attitudes towards abolition. In the years leading up to her death, suffering from dementia or Alzheimer s disease, Stowe is said to have begun re-writing Uncle Tom s Cabin, almost word-for-word, believing that she was writing the original manuscript once again. Stowe died in July 1, 1896 at the age of eighty-five.
