Overview

The book that some say helped start a war--now available in a new package

The story of a slave struggling to maintain his dignity during the pre-Civil War era, Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 to tremendous success. Since then, the book has received significant acclaim and invoked controversy. Many believe it was an important step on the road to the Civil War, but others feel it encouraged stereotypes still fought against today. Yet all can agree that Harriett Beecher Stowe's novel was been incredibly influential.

Following the slave Tom as he is bought and sold to one owner after another, as well as other slaves who escape to freedom with much difficulty, Uncle Tom's Cabin is a crucial part of our American history. Now available in this Canterbury Classics edition with a special heat-burnished cover, foil stamping, and designed endpapers, it is also a classic well worth reading today.

  • An absolute Must-Read.

    Maria L. - 4 years 11 months ago

    I can't believe it took me so long to read this book. It was so much more than I had even hoped. This is a book worth reading again and again. Full of love and grace, forgiveness and sorrow. #SpringPicks

    it's a great book and I think more people should read it, there used to be a saying back in the sixties about a person being an Uncle Tom (but that's not the case).

    When I worked at a middle school, helping students as they tackled American History, this book was an answer on every test! It really did play a huge roll in American history and was the best selling book in the 1800s. Only the Bible was more widely read. I realized I had never read the book, so at age 60, I did and it has become my all time favorite novel. I write this review in early June 2020, after the 7th night of peaceful protests in our country (and some very violent and destructive acts as well) over race relations. This is a timely book to shed more understanding in regards to our broken nation. I recommend it. #SummerReading
