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
第一次读这本书是小学，然后初中时重新读过，深深感动。 那些悲剧的情节不必多说吧，当时的我一直在想的是，我们有没有同情心。 这本书的下一本是余华的活着，好歹算是回答了我的这个问题。但是又似乎把问题推到了更严重的地步。 起初想的是为什么中国很少有这样直面苦难、严肃...
评分《汤姆叔叔的小屋》单行本发行于一八五二年，距离美国南北战争爆发还有八年的时间。一百五十八年后，我终于有空读完了它，由衷感慨作者斯托夫人高尚的人道主义情操。 在斯托夫人生活的时代，南北战争还没有爆发，在美国，蓄奴在很多州里还是合法的行为。不过，从斯托夫...
评分我能理解书中作者的感受，也能体会对黑奴的压迫，更能看到奴隶制的残酷！还可以看到作者笔下汤姆善良、厚重与爱心，但我觉得这部书被几个政治家有意图的评价无限度的拔高了！ 奴隶制必将会被废除，是历史的必然。而削除任何阻碍进步的终极方法，只有战争。而战争不过是政治利益...
评分请勿怜悯他！面对这样的生与死，怜悯是不合适的！ 汤姆用自己强大的灵魂战胜了架在他身上的悲惨的命运。
评分比想象中的要好看很多。 爱与善良的故事，心灵净化书。 好吧，看完之后我都想用那个小女孩的名字做英文名。
用户评价
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。
评分历史意义可能更大于文学成就？
评分大学期间读过的众多英文原著中的一本
评分长于情感说理，表现手法略逊
评分不对胃口
