Book Reviews of Uncle Tom's Cabin (200th Anniversary Edition) (Signet Classics)
Book Review: Powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
At 59-years old, I've crossed paths with this book my entire life. This year, I finally decided to sit down and read it. Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing style is typical of her era and might be considered awkward over 150 years after she wrote this book. Still, the story is powerful and its message will continue to endure the test of time. Closer to the horrors of the holocaust, we are apt to associate the phrase "Lest We Forget" with that horribly inhuman experience in mankind's history. I am compelled to tell you -- the potential reader -- those same words, "Read this book Lest We Forget." Certainly relevant mid-century in 1850, today, it makes no difference whether the subject of Stowe's books were African slaves, European Jews, or Cheyenne Indians. This is a story of how the human mind can wander to places where it justifies its undignified acts, even to the nth degree, yet still one man triumphs, and it only takes one to move the world in the right direction. Read this book "Lest We Forget."
Summary of Uncle Tom's Cabin (200th Anniversary Edition) (Signet Classics)
Uncle Tom's Cabin is the story of the slave Tom. He is sold and sent south, where he endures brutal treatment at the hands of a degenerate plantation owner. As the novel that helped to move a nation to battle, Uncle Tom's Cabin is an essential part of the collective experience of the American people.
