Uncle Tom, Topsy, Sambo, Simon Legree, little Eva: their names are American bywords, and all of them are characters in Harriet Beecher Stowe's remarkable novel of the pre-Civil War South. Uncle Tom's Cabin was revolutionary in 1852 for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, "a man of humanity," as the first black hero in American fiction. Labeled racist and condescending by some contemporary critics, it remains a shocking, controversial, and powerful work -- exposing the attitudes of white nineteenth-century society toward "the peculiar institution" and documenting, in heartrending detail, the tragic breakup of black Kentucky families "sold down the river." An immediate international sensation, Uncle Tom's Cabin sold 300,000 copies in the first year, was translated into thirty-seven languages, and has never gone out of print: its political impact was immense, its emotional influence immeasurable.

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...  

小学时候的我就已经听说过这本书了，几乎是书店必备书籍。但是每次我都是拿起来翻几页，就没兴趣看下去了。因为小时候的我正为白雪公主、仙德瑞拉、哆啦A梦之类的废寝忘食呢，像汤姆叔叔之类的名著之流完全不上心滴！觉得满纸都是我看不懂的枯燥乏味的废话。直到现在，已经大学...
