About the Book

Elisa fled with his son Tom is sold on the Mississippi In the nineteenth century, Kentucky, Southern State, Mr Shelby, wealthy planter and his wife, Emily, treat their slaves with kindness. But the couple fears losing the plantation for debt and decided to sell two of their slaves: Uncle Tom, a middle-aged man with a wife and children, and Harry, son of Elisa, servant of Emily. This idea is repugnant to Emily who had promised her maid that her son would never be sold; and the husband of Emily, George Shelby, does not wish to see from Tom he considers a friend and mentor. Lorsqu'Elisa surprises Mr. and Mrs. Shelby discussing the upcoming sale of Tom and Harry, she decides to run away with her son. The novel states that the decision to Elisa comes from the fact that she fears losing her only surviving child (she has already lost two children in diapers). Elisa share that same evening, leaving an apology to her mistress. Meanwhile, Uncle Tom is sold Augustine St. Clare and boarded a ship that is about to go down the Mississippi. On board, Tom meets a young white girl named Evangeline and befriends her. When Eva falls into the water, Tom saves her. To thank him, the father of Eva gives her cookies. Harriet Elizabeth (or Harriet) Beecher Stowe, born June 14, 1811 in Litchfield and died on July 1, 1896 in Hartford, is a woman of American letters, abolitionist. His Christian-based novel, humanist and "feminist," The Case of Uncle Tom (1852), sold millions of copies and received as a shock to the American public consciousness, denounced trade and institution slavery when the legal and social tensions between slaveholders and abolitionists were becoming increasingly strained. Elizabeth Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote over twenty books, including novels, three travel memoirs and articles and letters collections. Following a puritan environment, seventh of eleven children1 she received from her father, a Calvinist pastor (protestant) Lyman Beecher, a strict and rigorous education. Her mother died when she was five. One of his brothers is the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, remembered for Bibles Beecher. In 1832, his father founded a seminary in Ohio. This is an opportunity for Elizabeth to start writing with Scenes and Types descending pilgrims. Later, she married a pastor with whom she shares a commitment against slavery. Openly declared their abolitionist views are that they must leave the city of Cincinnati and took refuge in Brunswick, Maine. It is in this spirit that she wrote The Case of Uncle Tom (Uncle Tom's Cabin), which is experiencing a huge and immediate success, and bears a terrible blow to the cause of slavery (1852). According to Wendell Phillips, Stowe garnered an audience that abolitionists had sown; However, if after his literary success Stowe stayed away from public activities of abolitionist groups, it has also developed a real friendship respectful and trust with the famous abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison2. She had previously published some stories or news. Based on this success, she tries to publish a sequel in 1856, Dred, history of the great cursed swamp. But the title does not encounter the same popular enthusiasm that Tom's Cabin The uncle must remain his book, which was a huge success in America and Europe and was translated into many languages.
