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 charactersTom, Topsy, Little Eva, Eliza, and the evil Simon Legreestill 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 inhumanityand the courage it takes to fight against them.

小學時候的我就已經聽說過這本書瞭,幾乎是書店必備書籍。但是每次我都是拿起來翻幾頁,就沒興趣看下去瞭。因為小時候的我正為白雪公主、仙德瑞拉、哆啦A夢之類的廢寢忘食呢,像湯姆叔叔之類的名著之流完全不上心滴!覺得滿紙都是我看不懂的枯燥乏味的廢話。直到現在,已經大學...
評分今天年輕的讀者在閱讀《湯姆叔叔的小屋》這本書時,多半會感覺有些過時。誠然,節奏緩慢的敘事、大量過於明顯的說教以及無甚懸念的情節等特徵與時下的小說比起來的確顯得有些拖遝,不過若是考慮到斯托夫人是在1852年將它發錶齣來,而當時的中國仍處於太平天國時期,那麼我們就...
評分看之前早就被這本書的重要意義給洗腦瞭 我關注瞭兩點 1.善與惡太分明,人性的復雜性完全給忽略掉瞭好伐,不是所有人從頭壞到腳,善良的人就是天使下凡吧。。。 2.軟廣告啊軟廣告啊,看完之後我都快被洗腦瞭。信基督啊!親 湯姆叔叔最後和少爺告彆的時候我鼻子都酸瞭 明知道是...
評分我是不會寫東西的,在這寫書評無疑就是把自己當靶子,就像聖·剋萊爾先生那樣,隻批駁彆人卻不設自己的立場,大概纔更符閤我的性格。 這本書,我八歲開始看,看過許多版本,少年時有縮略的--我極度痛恨的版本,後來看完整的譯文,高二時看瞭原版。這本書從不離開我...
評分久聞《湯姆叔叔的小屋》一本書點燃一場戰爭的盛名,卻因為這種過於彰顯的政治因素,一直對它退避三捨。 年少時看到《復活》裏瑪絲洛娃對聶赫留朵夫彌補罪過的拒絕,《茶花女》裏瑪格麗特為瞭保全阿爾芒前途的遠去消逝,《霧都孤兒》裏南希為奧利弗求情而終喪性命,《駱駝祥子...
