| 本書描寫美利堅南北戰爭前的生活，尤其著重於其時蓄奴制度，以主人翁湯姆叔叔為中心，旁及其餘黑奴以及清教徒生活，深刻地描繪奴隸制度以及黑人奴隸生活的悲苦，為十九世紀最暢銷小說。之後甚至進而影響美國南北戰爭以至奴隸制度的廢除。 The story of a slave struggling to maintain his dignity during the pre-Civil War era, Uncle Tom＇s Cabin was published in 1852 to tremendous success. Since then, the book has received significant acclaim and invoked controversy. Many believe it was an important step on the road to the Civil War, but others feel it encouraged stereotypes still fought against today. Yet all can agree that Harriett Beecher Stowe＇s novel was been incredibly influential. Following the slave Tom as he is bought and sold to one owner after another, as well as other slaves who escape to freedom with much difficulty, Uncle Tom＇s Cabin is a crucial part of our American history. Now available in this Canterbury Classics edition, it is also a classic well worth reading today. |
