Produktbeschreibung
Written by American author and abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel and the second best-selling book of the 19th century, following the Bible. The novel had a profound impact to the abolitionist movement and is said to have helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War. While Uncle Tom's Cabin illustrates the dark side of slavery, its strong characters and their inspiring actions demonstrate the resilience of those with Christian faith and how that faith can help overcome the worst circumstances. The influence attributed to the book was so great that a likely apocryphal story arose of Abraham Lincoln meeting Stowe at the start of the Civil War and declaring, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."

Autorenporträt
Harriet Beecher Stowe (June 14, 1811-July 1, 1896) was born in the United States. She was an American writer and abolitionist. She came from the Beecher family, a religious family, and became famous for her novel, Uncle Tom's Lodge (1852), which portrays the brutal conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions of readers as a novel as well as for play and became so influential in the US and in Great Britain that it empowered anti-slavery forces in the American North while provoking extensive aggression in the South. Stowe published 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of letters and articles. She was prominent in both her compositions and in her public stances, and also in debates on social issues.
