The story follows the diverging lives of these two slaves-\u003cstrong\u003eEliza\u003c\/strong\u003e's flight to Canada and \u003cstrong\u003eUncle Tom\u003c\/strong\u003e's journey into the deep south.\u003cstrong\u003eEliza\u003c\/strong\u003e is accompanied by her husband, \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge\u003c\/strong\u003e, who also escaped from his owner at the same time. Together they must outrun bounty hunters and somehow make their way to freedom. \u003cstrong\u003eUncle Tom\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the other hand, must face the uncertainty of new owners and separation from his family, while somehow remaining true to his religious faith.Upon its release, \u003cstrong\u003eUncle Tom\u003c\/strong\u003e's Cabin sparked immediate criticism from slave owners and praise from abolitionists. Its influence was such that one apocryphal story claims that \u003cstrong\u003eAbraham Lincoln\u003c\/strong\u003e, upon meeting Stowe, stated \"so this is the little lady who started this great war.\"The book remains controversial, with critics pointing to \u003cstrong\u003eUncle Tom\u003c\/strong\u003e's passive nature and the extensive use of racial stereotypes. Despite this, the novel's influence is undeniable, and it helped pave the way for modern protest literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Prairies Numeriques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47568425320599,"sku":"9791043139666","price":2674.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9791043139666.webp?v=1774868220","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/uncle-toms-cabin-9791043139666","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
