Description

2 volumes in 1. portrait 16 cm Uncle Tom's cabin; or, life among the lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Portrait of Harriet Beecher Stowe located in front of the book. Each volume separately paged with volume 1 ending on page 339. "Labeled racist and condescending by some contemporary critics, this novel remains a shocking, controversial, and powerful work that exposes the attitudes of white 19th century society toward the institution of slavery. Uncle Tom's Cabin charts the progress from slavery to freedom of fugitives who escape the chains of slavery, and of a martyr who transcends all earthly ties."
