À propos de cet audio

 Uncle Tom's Cabin opens with a Kentucky farmer named Arthur Shelby facing the loss of his farm because of debts. Even though he and his wife, Emily Shelby, believe that they have a benevolent relationship with their slaves, Shelby decides to raise the needed funds by selling two of them - Uncle Tom, a middle-aged man with a wife and children, and Harry, the son of Emily Shelby's maid Eliza - to a slave trader. Emily Shelby hates the idea of doing this because she had promised her maid that her child would never be sold; Emily's son, George Shelby, hates to see Tom go because he sees the old man as his friend and mentor.

When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852, it became an international blockbuster, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States alone in its first year. Progressive for her time, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the earliest writers to offer a shockingly realistic depiction of slavery. Her stirring indictment and portrait of human dignity in the most inhumane circumstances enlightened hundreds of thousands of people by revealing the human costs of slavery, which had until then been cloaked and justified by the racist misperceptions of the time.

Wow! Richard Allen really makes this book come to life. The way he sings the old hymns in the book is beautiful.

A masterful reading

There's a reason why this book helped launch the end of the slave era.

The topic of slavery can be incredibly hard to study and listen to but is so necessary to remind us of our history. The story is so well told and it brings the emotion and devastation of all these situations without being gory and super explicit. Often I deliberately went back to re-read an excerpt because it was so intelligently written, truths hidden in a cleverly written way. I loved the broad viewpoints brought out in this book. Well worth the time to read/listen.

Wow! This book has enriched our lives.

Enjoyed the storytelling and characters. It gave me a better perspective on what the term, “Uncle Tom” should mean.

I was worried that the narrator would be difficult to listen to since he would change his voice for each character but he did a tremendous job. The stories in the book are very touching and heartbreaking.

Performance of the reader it was outstanding
