About this listen

 One of the most frequently challenged books in American literature, Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is a powerful novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe that places slavery at its heart. Stowe, a teacher from Connecticut and a passionate abolitionist, crafted a story that profoundly influenced Northern attitudes towards slavery. Legend has it that when President Lincoln met Stowe, he remarked, So you’re the little lady whose book started the Civil War. First published on March 20, 1852, the narrative unfolds the life of Uncle Tom, a resilient black slave, whose experiences intertwine with those of fellow slaves and their owners. The novel starkly portrays the brutal realities of slavery while illuminating the potential for Christian love and faith to triumph over such a grave injustice.
