Bøker av Harriet Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe, preeminent author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, based this book on her own experience growing up in Litchfield Connecticut. Set in the fictional village of Poganuc, the book is a beautiful and poetic description of the people, including their views on everything from religion to politics, and the geography of a small Puritanical New England town of the early nineteenth century.

Describing the many trials and eventual escape to freedom of the long-suffering, good-hearted slave Uncle Tom, this novel intends to show how Christian love can overcome any human cruelty.
