Features: Uncle Tom's Cabin tells the story of, in the early 19th century, the Kentucky farmer Shelby, who, due to business failure, is forced to sell the enslaved Tom and Little Harry to repay his debts. George Harris, his wife Eliza, and son Little Harry separately flee to Northern Canada. After enduring hardships, they finally reunite and safely reach their destination, living a truly free life. The honest and devout Uncle Tom is beloved by his new master, St. Clare, and his daughter Eva. Unfortunately, Eva falls seriously ill and dies, and St. Clare is also murdered while arranging Tom's freedom papers. Uncle Tom is later abused and beaten to death by the devil-disguised farmer Simon Legree. In this book, his selfless love for Eva and Eliza's desperate flight to the North are the most touching parts. When the book was published, it was considered "the most moving event in the world of fiction" and played a certain role in advancing the abolitionist movement in the United States.
