Onkel Toms hytte af Harriet Beecher Stowe anses som en af litteraturens klassikere, der selv i dag, over 150 år efter bogens udgivelse, fortsat er både kontroversiel og yderst aktuel.Handlingen tager sit udgangspunkt i Kentucky, hvor slaven Tom egentlig befinder sig godt hos sin herre, der giver sine slaver meget frihed og medbestemmelse. Men økonomien gør, at Tom bliver solgt på en slaveauktion, og dermed uforvarende bliver brutalt revet fra sin kone og sine børn. Efter nogle både gode og dårlige oplevelser ender Tom til sidst hos en grusom plantageejer, der godt kan se Toms potentiale, men som alligevel flere gange pisker ham næsten til døde. Da Toms oprindelige ejer atter har skrabet penge sammen til at købe Tom fri og fundet frem til ham, ligger Tom derfor på sit smertefulde dødsleje.Denne version af mesterværket Onkel Toms hytte er oversat og redigeret af Victoria Jensen.

Quando Arthur Shelby e la sua famiglia sono sul punto di perdere la loro fattoria, Arthur decide di vendere due dei suoi schiavi a un mercante di schiavi per saldare i suoi debiti. Lo zio Tom, un uomo di famiglia di mezza eta e amico intimo del figlio di Arthur, e uno di loro. L'altro schiavo, Harry, fugge con la madre nel cuore della notte per raggiungere il Canada, dove potranno vivere da persone libere insieme al padre di Harry, che era scappato in precedenza. I due fuggiaschi sono inseguiti per il paese da un cacciatore di schiavi instancabile e spietato, mentre lo zio Tom, separato dalla sua famiglia, cerca di sopravvivere nel suo nuovo ambiente. Quando il romanzo di Harriet Beecher Stowe "e;La capanna dello zio Tom"e; fu pubblicato nel 1852, ci fu una protesta da parte degli stati meridionali americani, dove la schiavitu era ancora considerata una misura naturale e necessaria. Molti credono che questo romanzo, ampiamente distribuito, abbia in parte gettato le basi della guerra civile americana, mettendo fine alla schiavitu, una volta per tutte. -
