“In the love of truth, and in the love of freedom, we shall yet be able to abolish slavery.”

Set against the backdrop of slavery in the pre-Civil War United States, Uncle Tom's Cabin is one of the most influential novels in American History. It is a heart-wrenching story of a Black man, Uncle Tom and his journey of suffering as he is sold to a cruel plantation owner, where his moral resolve is tested. Stowe engages the readers by introducing a diverse cast of characters, from the brutal and merciless to the compassionate and determined, each of whom plays an integral part in the portrayal of the injustice of slavery. The tale is a vivid depiction of the dehumanising effects of slavery while championing the strength of the human spirit, becoming a call to action against the anti-slavery movement in the United States.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was an American author and social activist best known for her groundbreaking novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), which played a pivotal role in shaping public opinion about slavery in the United States. Born into a prominent religious family, Stowe was the daughter of Lyman Beecher, a well-known preacher, and she grew up in an environment that valued social reform and humanitarian causes. She wrote numerous works, including essays, that revolved around social issues, such as women’s rights and slavery. Influenced by her commitment to justice, Stowe’s writings portray the brutal realities of slavery and the moral choices faced by individuals within the system.
