Devout and loyal, he is sold and sent down south, where he endures brutal treatment at the hands of the degenerate plantation owner Simon Legree. By exposing the extreme cruelties of slavery, Stowe explores society's failures and asks a profound question: “What is it to be a moral human being?” And as the novel that helped to move a nation to battle,\u003cbr\u003e\nUncle Tom's Cabin is an essential part of the collective experience of the American people.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith an Introduction by Darryl Pinckney \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nand an Afterword by Jonathan Arac\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n“\u003cbr\u003e\nUncle Tom's Cabin is the most powerful and enduring work of art ever written about American slavery.”—Alfred Kazin\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nHarriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, daughter of the Reverend Lyman Beecher of the local Congregational Church. In 1832, the family moved to Cincinnati, where Harriet married Calvin Ellis Stowe, a professor at the seminary, in 1836.  The border town of Cincinnati was alive with abolitionist conflict, and there Mrs. Stowe took an active part in community life. She came into contact with fugitive slaves and learned from friends and from personal visits what life was like for the African-American in the South. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law was passed, and that same year Harriet's sister-in-law urged the author to put her feelings about the evils of slavery into words.\u003cbr\u003e\nUncle Tom's Cabin was published serially from 1851 to 1852 in\u003cbr\u003e\nThe National Era and as a book in 1852.  More than 300,000 copies of the novel were sold in one year.  Mrs. Stowe continued to write, publishing eleven other novels and numerous articles before her death at the age of eighty-five in Hartford, Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451530806\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.7 x 4.1 x 1.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50209717551408,"sku":"Trans_9780451530806","price":413.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71FdZbcwYwL.jpg?v=1760170060","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/uncle-toms-cabin-or-life-among-the-lowly-signet-classics","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
