Harriet Beecher Stowe was appalled by slavery, and she took one of the few options open to nineteenth century women who wanted to affect public opinion: she wrote a novel, a huge, enthralling narrative that claimed the heart, soul, and politics of millions of her contemporaries. Uncle Tom's Cabin paints pictures of three plantations, each worse than the other, where even the best plantation leaves a slave at the mercy of fate or debt. Her questions remain penetrating even today: "Can man ever be trusted with wholly irresponsible power?"
First published more than 150 years ago, this monumental work is today being reexamined by critics, scholars, and students. Though "Uncle Tom" has become a synonym for a fawning black yes-man, Stowe's Tom is actually American literature's first black hero, a man who suffers for refusing to obey his oppressors. Uncle Tom's Cabin is a living, relevant story, passionate in its vivid depiction of the cruelest forms of injustice and inhumanity-and the courage it takes to fight against them.

评分今天年轻的读者在阅读《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这本书时,多半会感觉有些过时。诚然,节奏缓慢的叙事、大量过于明显的说教以及无甚悬念的情节等特征与时下的小说比起来的确显得有些拖沓,不过若是考虑到斯托夫人是在1852年将它发表出来,而当时的中国仍处于太平天国时期,那么我们就...
评分读《汤姆叔叔的小屋》后有段话印象深刻,与大家共享。 基督徒的平安心境,是靠信奉一位聪明睿智、统领一切的天父来维持的。他的存在,使空虚的未知世界充满了光明和秩序。然而,对于违抗上帝统治的人来说,那片幽灵的国度,则是“黑暗和死阴之地”,混混沌沌,没有秩序,黑暗...
