Faced with the possibility of financial ruin, slave owner Arthur Shelby decides to sell two of his slaves: Uncle Tom and a young boy named Harry. Eliza, Harry¿s mother, makes the decision to run away while Uncle Tom decides that his moral duty is to submit to his master and cooperate with the sale. The story follows the diverging lives of these two slaves¿Elizäs flight to Canada and Uncle Tom¿s journey into the deep south.Eliza is accompanied by her husband, George, who also escaped from his owner at the same time. Together they must outrun bounty hunters and somehow make their way to freedom. Uncle Tom, 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, Uncle Tom¿s Cabin sparked immediate criticism from slave owners and praise from abolitionists. Its influence was such that one apocryphal story claims that Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting Stowe, stated ¿so this is the little lady who started this great war.¿The book remains controversial, with critics pointing to Uncle Tom¿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.

The narrative drive of Stowe's classic novel is often overlooked in the heat of the controversies surrounding its anti-slavery sentiments. In fact, it is a compelling adventure story with richly drawn characters and has earned a place in both literary and American history. Stowe's religious beliefs show up in the novel's final, overarching theme-the exploration of the nature of Christianity and how Christian theology is fundamentally incompatible with slavery. Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist, whose novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) attacked the cruelty of slavery; it reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential, even in Britain. It made the political issues of the 1850s regarding slavery tangible to millions, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North. It angered and embittered the South. The impact is summed up in a commonly quoted statement apocryphally attributed to Abraham Lincoln. When he met Stowe, it is claimed that he said, "So you're the little woman that started this great war!"

A mediados de una fría tarde de febrero, dos hombres estaban sentados solos con una copa de vino delante en un comedor bien amueblado de la ciudad de P. de Kentucky. No había criados, y los caballeros estaban muy juntos y parecían estar hablando muy serios de algún tema. Por comodidad, los hemos llamado hasta ahora dos caballeros. Sin embargo, al observar de forma crítica a uno de ellos, no parecía ceñirse muy bien a esa categoría. Era bajo y fornido, con facciones bastas y vulgares, y el aspecto fanfarrón de un hombre de baja calaña que quiere trepar la escala social. Vestía llamativamente un chaleco multicolor, un pañuelo azul con lunares amarillos anudado alegremente al cuello con un gran lazo, muy acorde con su aspecto general. Las manos eran grandes y rudas y cubiertas de anillos; llevaba una gruesa cadena de reloj repleta de enormes sellos de gran variedad de colores, que solía hacer tintinear con patente satisfacción en el calor de la conversación. Ésta estaba totalmente exenta de las limitaciones de la Gramática de Murray, y salpicada regularmente con diversas expresiones profanas, que ni siquiera el deseo de dar una versión gráfica de la conversación nos hará transcribir.
