Book Description
Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
This novel has earned the title of not only bestseller, but also the first protest novel to have a direct impact on political events. The story follows the life and vissitudes of Uncle Tom, a noble negro, and portrays the humanity of an enslaved black people and the moral evil of their enslavement.
From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Erica Bauermeister
This is one of those books that everybody has heard about but few people these days have actually read. It deserves to be read - not simply because it is the basis for symbols so deeply ingrained in American culture that we no longer realize their source, nor because it is one of the bestselling books of all time. This is a book that changed history. Harriet Beecher Stowe was appalled by slavery, and she took one of the few options open to nineteenth century women who wanted to affect public opinion: she wrote a novel, a huge, enthralling narrative that claimed the heart, soul, and politics of pre-Civil War Americans. It is unabashed propaganda and overtly moralistic, an attempt to make whites - North and South - see slaves as mothers, fathers, and people with (Christian) souls. In a time when women might see the majority of their children die, Harriet Beecher Stowe portrays beautiful Eliza fleeing slavery to protect her son. In a time when many whites claimed slavery had "good effects" on blacks, Uncle Tom's Cabin paints pictures of three plantations, each worse than the other, where even the best plantation leaves a slave at the mercy of fate or debt. By twentieth-century standards, her propaganda verges on melodrama, and it is clear that even while arguing for the abolition of slavery she did not rise above her own racism. Yet her questions remain penetrating even today: "Is man ever a creature to be trusted with wholly irresponsible power?"
From AudioFile
Classic nineteenth-century literature can be difficult to read and hear. But this production is an exception. Buck Schirner's characters are so vivid, so well enunciated, that we wish Stowe had created more people for Schirner to give voice to. His characters argue about slavery, lament their fortunes and survive by their wits. He gives each person emotion and depth and reads Stowe's prose with conviction. Indeed, it's hard not to, given the moral force behind her words. The only negative is when Schirner reads in his own voice, which is low and flat. Because of his excellent vocal work, though, the book reminds us that the debate over race and human worth was as vivid in the 1850's as it is today. R.I.G.

读后感
这是一部黑人的血泪史。故事中的主人公汤姆是个极其善良的人，十分信奉上帝，希望上帝能赐予他自由。他虽然不识很多字，但还是经常尽自己所能去读《圣经》。但就是这样一个信奉上帝、十分善良的人却最终死在了残暴的奴隶主手下。不是有句古话说“善有善报，恶有恶报”吗？ 在汤...
评分虽说不能以现在的目光来完全否定一部作品。但是现在再读这本书，我本人已经不是那个小学生，而且也脱离了当时南北战争的背景，我读的是经典译林版本，也许是翻译的缘故(不过经典译林的应该不会有什么问题)，它的文笔给我一种幼儿读物的感觉 作者能看到问题并写出还是很不容易...
评分从家中的角落中翻出了这本书，心想趁着最无聊的时候可以读一读。记得不知道谁曾经告诉我，美国的南北战争就是因为这本书引起的。读完这本书后我感到疑惑，只能说这本书揭露了那个时代的背景，而如果说一场内战因为一本书而打就有些让人笑话了。言归正传，这是一本还算经典的...

小时候看的电视剧好象特别长. 小说还是很简洁.
评分High IF story
评分典型美国南部文学【。
评分多面的人物不能说是round character，更确切地说是square character。性格特征善恶分明，却怎么都觉得那善的和恶的不能统一在一个个体身上。事件基本成为开始和结局，人物也不需要做决定，作者性在里面谄媚的引诱让人觉得浑身不舒服。
评分小时候看的是简写版，挺喜欢这个故事（因为是小孩子所以只记得住美好的一面），于是长大后重温。政治性大于文学性，真实深刻，但宗教说教占比太重。
