'So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!' These words, said to have been uttered by Abraham Lincoln, signal the celebrity of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The first American novel to become an international best-seller, Stowe's novel charts the progress from slavery to freedom of fugitives who escape the chains of American chattel slavery, and of a martyr who transcends all earthly ties. At the middle of the nineteenth-century, the names of its characters - Little Eva, Topsy, Uncle Tom - were renowned. A hundred years later, 'Uncle Tom' still had meaning, but, to Blacks everywhere it had become a curse. This edition firmly locates Uncle Tom's Cabin within the context of African-American writing, the issues of race and the role of women. Its appendices include the most important contemporary African-American literary responses to the glorification of Uncle Tom's Christian resignation as well as excerpts from popular slave narratives, quoted by Stowe in her justification of the dramatization of slavery, Key to Uncles Tom's Cabin.

雖說不能以現在的目光來完全否定一部作品。但是現在再讀這本書,我本人已經不是那個小學生,而且也脫離瞭當時南北戰爭的背景,我讀的是經典譯林版本,也許是翻譯的緣故(不過經典譯林的應該不會有什麼問題),它的文筆給我一種幼兒讀物的感覺 作者能看到問題並寫齣還是很不容易...
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...
評分這是一部黑人的血淚史。故事中的主人公湯姆是個極其善良的人,十分信奉上帝,希望上帝能賜予他自由。他雖然不識很多字,但還是經常盡自己所能去讀《聖經》。但就是這樣一個信奉上帝、十分善良的人卻最終死在瞭殘暴的奴隸主手下。不是有句古話說“善有善報,惡有惡報”嗎? 在湯...
