This groundbreaking novel is a searing indictment of slavery and a powerful call for abolition. Harriet Beecher Stowe's unforgettable characters--including Uncle Tom, Eliza, and Topsy--bring to life the horrors of the institution of slavery and the heroic efforts of those who sought to defeat it. With a new preface by the Earl of Carlisle, this edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand America's past and present.
