Uncle Tom's Cabin , by Harriet Beecher Stowe , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Nearly every young author dreams of writing a book that will literally change the world. A few have succeeded, and Harriet Beecher Stowe is such a marvel. Although the American anti-slavery movement had existed at least as long as the nation itself, Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) galvanized public opinion as nothing had before. The book sold 10,000 copies in its first week and 300,000 in its first year. Its vivid dramatization of slavery’s cruelties so aroused readers that it is said Abraham Lincoln told Stowe her work had been a catalyst for the Civil War.

Today the novel is often labeled condescending, but its characters—Tom, Topsy, Little Eva, Eliza, and the evil Simon Legree—still have the power to move our hearts. Though “Uncle Tom” has become a synonym for a fawning black yes-man, Stowe’s Tom is actually American literature’s first black hero, a man who suffers for refusing to obey his white oppressors. Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a living, relevant story, passionate in its vivid depiction of the cruelest forms of injustice and inhumanity—and the courage it takes to fight against them.

读后感

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...  

久闻《汤姆叔叔的小屋》一本书点燃一场战争的盛名，却因为这种过于彰显的政治因素，一直对它退避三舍。 年少时看到《复活》里玛丝洛娃对聂赫留朵夫弥补罪过的拒绝，《茶花女》里玛格丽特为了保全阿尔芒前途的远去消逝，《雾都孤儿》里南希为奥利弗求情而终丧性命，《骆驼祥子...  

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。  

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...  

读《汤姆叔叔的小屋》后有段话印象深刻，与大家共享。 基督徒的平安心境，是靠信奉一位聪明睿智、统领一切的天父来维持的。他的存在，使空虚的未知世界充满了光明和秩序。然而，对于违抗上帝统治的人来说，那片幽灵的国度，则是“黑暗和死阴之地”，混混沌沌，没有秩序，黑暗...
