About this Item

6"x8.25" 500 pgs. Navy textured boards w/faded gilt letters on spine. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and w/soft tone. Not x-library, DJ in Brodart mylar, unmarked, not price clipped ($1.00). Frontispiece "The Cabin" by Kemille (?). Date on TP but not CR page. Moisture exposure to DJ w/chips and edge wear. The narrative drive of Stowe's classic novel is often overlooked in the heat of the controversies surrounding its anti-slavery sentiments. In fact, it is a compelling adventure story with richly drawn characters and has earned a place in both literary and American history. Stowe's puritanical religious beliefs show up in the novel's final, overarching theme-the exploration of the nature of Christianity and how Christian theology is fundamentally incompatible with slavery.
