Features: Through this book, Harriet Beecher Stowe presents to us the various hardships and pains endured by enslaved people under the institution of slavery, and explores the paths they took to freedom—two entirely different paths. One path documents the journey of the kind and upright Tom, who was sold from master to master, adopting a policy of non-resistance, and ultimately met a tragic end. The other path is marked by the stubborn and George Harris and his more courageous wife Eliza, who refused to be dishonored by fate and finally won their freedom. Uncle Tom's Cabin is an American work with a strong democratic inclination. It is a representative of the important literary movement in American literary history—abolition literature—and laid a significant cornerstone of realism in American literature.
