<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Classic look into slavery in the United States during the 19th century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A beautiful, illustrated edition of the classic Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe with 120 original illustrations.</strong></p><p><em>Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly, </em> is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War". Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings. <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em> was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible.</p><p> </p>
