Sobre este artículo
Boston and Cleveland: John P. Jewett & Co. / Jewett, Proctor & Worthington, 1852. First edition. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Extra gilt "gift binding" in striking red cloth. Scarce as such, as the gift bindings were more expensive than the more common brown cloth bindings. Title pages both state "Tenth Thousand," which was the second printing according to BAL. Copyright pages state printed by Geo. C. Rand. A solid set expertly repaired at the spines and hinges. All edges gilt.
Sinopsis
In Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriett Beecher Stowe, the title character Uncle Tom is a long-suffering slave, loyal to both his faith and his master. Presented with an opportunity to escape, he instead chooses to remain in slavery to avoid embarrassing his master. After being sold to a slave trader, Tom suffers brutal treatment and is eventually beaten to death for his refusal to betray his friends — made to represent an ideal of true Christianity. Enormously popular (it was the best-selling novel of the 19th century) and influential, it’s publication in 1852 was instrumental in bringing visibility to the cruel reality of slavery. In more recent years, it has come under considerable criticism for its portrayal of meekness and subservience and the phrase “Uncle Tom” is sometimes used as an epithet for someone seen as overly subservient.

Excellent book to gain empathy and insight into the enslaved pathos, struggle and plight! This book presents well designed ideas to ennoble and elivate the human race as brothers, and sisters of a common God, and Father of us all.
