    Onkel Toms hytte er en fortælling fra tiden før den amerikanske borgerkrig, hvor vi følger slaven Tom på godt og ondt. Tom ejes indledningsvist af en venlig mand, som ikke mishandler sine slaver, og lader dem nærmest blive som en del af familien. Men da ejerens økonomi skranter, bliver Tom og en lille slavedreng solgt. Drengen flygter med sin mor, mens Tom bliver sendt på en slaveauktion til videresalg. Igen kommer Tom til en familie, der behandler sine slaver godt, og trods Toms afsavn fra kone og børn trives han – lige indtil manden dør før han får indfriet hans løfte om, at Tom skulle blive fri. Atter sælges Tom og denne gang er han ikke så heldig. Han ender hos en ond og brutal plantageejer, og Tom kommer til at føle piskens smerte mange gange – så mange, at han næsten mister troen på Gud, for hvorfor udsætter Gud sine undersåtter for så meget smerte og uretfærdighed.Toms historie giver naturligvis anledning til en del spørgsmål, som også ved udgivelsen i 1850’erne skabte stor polemik – såvel for plantageejerne, den menige amerikaner, mellem racerne og helt ind i de politiske arenaer. For er det overhovedet muligt at være en ”god” slaveejer, når man dermed handler med mennesker...Onkel Toms hytte spiller på de store menneskelige følelser omkring, hvordan vi kan og bør behandle hinanden som medmennesker uanset race. Onkel Toms hytte er en af litteraturens helt store klassikere, her i en ny oversættelse af Hans Peter Andersen.God læselyst.

    Kiedy w Stanach Zjednoczonych uchwalono ustawę przeciwko ukrywaniu zbiegłych czarnoskórych niewolników, Harriet Elisabeth Stowe podjęła się opisania stosowanych wobec nich bezwzględności i przemocy. „Chata wuja Toma" opowiada o tych, którzy zmuszeni do niewolniczej posługi, mimo upokorzeń starają się zachować godność. Główny bohater wierzy, że dopóki ma możliwość wyboru pomiędzy dobrem a złem, pozostaje człowiekiem wolnym. Przejmująca historia o uniwersalnych wartościach: o miłości, przebaczeniu i nadziei na lepsze czasy. Jej publikacja stała się silnym argumentem w walce o zniesienie niewolnictwa i dała impuls do realnych zmian w życiu publicznym USA. Język, postacie i poglądy zawarte w tej publikacji nie odzwierciedlają poglądów ani opinii wydawcy. Utwór ma charakter publikacji historycznej, ukazującej postawy i tendencje charakterystyczne dla czasów z których pochodzi.Harriet Elisabeth Stowe (1811-1896) – amerykańska pisarka i działaczka społeczna.

    Written by American author and dedicated abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a poignant novel which shows the harsh reality of a slave's life in the 1800s. Uncle Tom, an African-American slave who believes in the power of Christian faith. The book would be a major contributor to the Civil War because its compelling portrayal of slaves as fellow human beings left little room for compromise: if slaves were indeed human, then no justification for slavery was possible. While this tale is heavy with the suffering of slavery, its strong characters and their songs show the resilience of those with love for God and how that love can overcome even the worst conditions. Being the second best-selling book of the 20th century, Stowe's compelling story is one that will empower you to consider who might not be regarded as humans, today, and what that means for us in the 21st century.This edition includes the 6 illustrations by Hammatt Billings commissioned by John P. Jewett for the original 1852 release of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
