La novela dramatiza la dura realidad de la esclavitud mientras muestra que el amor cristiano y la fe pueden superar algo tan destructivo como la esclavización de seres humanos. Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 – 1896) fue una abolicionista y autora de más de diez libros, siendo el más famoso La cabaña del tío Tom, el cual narra la historia de la vida en la esclavitud. Aunque Stowe nunca había pisado el Sur estadounidense, publicó consecuentemente A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, un trabajo real documentando la veracidad de su descripción de las vidas de los esclavos en la novela original.

Following the 1851 publication of ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin’, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s monumental classic quickly reached an audience of millions across the world.  Stowe’s portrayal of the impact of slavery on African Americans captured the nation's attention, fuelling debates concerning abolition and slavery, whilst arousing opposition in the South and helping to spark the country into Civil War.

Largely descriptive of the St. John's river region of Florida.

"My object is to interpret to the world the New England life and character in that particular time of its history which may be called the seminal period. New England has always been a capital country to emigrate from, and North, South, East and West have been populated largely from New England, so that the seed-bed of New England was the seed-bed of this great American Republic, and of all that is likely to come of it."--Preface.

Der Roman schildert das Schicksal einer Reihe afroamerikanischer Sklaven und ihrer jeweiligen Besitzer in den vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Die Titelfigur Onkel Tom ist ein Sklave in Kentucky. Sein Besitzer Mr. Shelby behandelt ihn gut. Tom ist als Verwalter der Farm tätig. Er ist bekennender Christ und leitet regelmäßig die Gottesdienste der Sklaven. Aber als Tom aus Finanznot verkauft werden muss, wird er von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern getrennt. Sein zweiter Herr, St. Claire, ist ein gutmütiger, nachsichtiger Lebemann. Seine Tochter Eva entwickelt ein inniges Freundschaftsverhältnis zu Tom, stirbt aber an Schwindsucht. St. Claire hat sich unter dem Einfluss seiner Kusine Ophelia, die ihm den Haushalt führt, zu einem Gegner der Sklavenhalterei entwickelt und will Tom freilassen. Sein plötzlicher gewaltsamer Tod verhindert dies und seine Witwe Marie denkt nicht daran, auf den Verkaufserlös zu verzichten.So gelangt Tom an Mr. Legree, der mit äußerster Brutalität eine Baumwollplantage betreibt. Als einziger Weißer wohnt er in einem heruntergekommenen Herrschaftshaus. Seinen Sklaven ist jede Menschlichkeit abhandengekommen. Es gelingt Mr. Legree, alle gegeneinander auszuspielen. Tom bekommt er nicht so weit. Tom soll zum Aufseher über die anderen Sklaven werden, weigert sich aber, jemanden zu schlagen. Stattdessen übt Tom durch seine praktizierte christliche Nächstenliebe einen positiven Einfluss auf alle aus, was Mr. Legree besonders zuwider ist ... (aus wikipedia.de)

« La Case de l'oncle Tom » (« Uncle Tom's Cabin ») est un roman de l'écrivaine américaine Harriet Beecher Stowe. Publié d'abord sous forme de feuilleton en 1852, il vaut le succès immédiat à son auteur. Le roman eut un profond impact sur l'état d'esprit général vis-à-vis des Afro-Américains et de l'esclavage aux États-Unis ; il est un des facteurs de l’exacerbation des tensions qui menèrent à la Guerre de Sécession. Stowe, née dans le Connecticut et pasteure à la « Hartford Female Academy », était une abolitionniste convaincue. Elle centre son roman sur le personnage de l'oncle Tom, un esclave noir patient et tolérant autour duquel se déroulent les histoires d'autres personnages, aussi bien esclaves que blancs. Ce roman sentimental dépeint la réalité de l'esclavage tout en affirmant que l'amour chrétien peut surmonter une épreuve aussi destructrice que l'esclavage d'êtres humains. «



"Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly", is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War", according to Will Kaufman. 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. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies were sold in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day." The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war." The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change."

Extrait : "A une heure avancée d'une glaciale après-midi de février, deux gentils hommes étaient assis, en tiers avec une bouteille, dans une confortable salle à manger de la ville de P***, au Kentucky. Pas un domestique n'était présent, et les chaises rapprochées indiquaient que le sujet en question était chaudement débattu."

“Of course, in a novel, people’s hearts break, and they die, and that is the end of it; and in a story this is very convenient. But in real life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us. There is a most busy and important round of eating, drinking, dressing, walking, visiting, buying, selling, talking, reading, and all that makes up what is commonly called living, yet to be gone through...” ― Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin
Uncle Tom’s Cabin transformed American society through it’s exploration of the realities of slavery in the American south.

Two children's stories written by the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The first story deals with rich versus poor and the virtues of contentment and unselfishness. The second story takes place in a boys' school and deals with temperance and honesty.
