Book Description
Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
This novel has earned the title of not only bestseller, but also the first protest novel to have a direct impact on political events. The story follows the life and vissitudes of Uncle Tom, a noble negro, and portrays the humanity of an enslaved black people and the moral evil of their enslavement.
From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Erica Bauermeister
This is one of those books that everybody has heard about but few people these days have actually read. It deserves to be read - not simply because it is the basis for symbols so deeply ingrained in American culture that we no longer realize their source, nor because it is one of the bestselling books of all time. This is a book that changed history. Harriet Beecher Stowe was appalled by slavery, and she took one of the few options open to nineteenth century women who wanted to affect public opinion: she wrote a novel, a huge, enthralling narrative that claimed the heart, soul, and politics of pre-Civil War Americans. It is unabashed propaganda and overtly moralistic, an attempt to make whites - North and South - see slaves as mothers, fathers, and people with (Christian) souls. In a time when women might see the majority of their children die, Harriet Beecher Stowe portrays beautiful Eliza fleeing slavery to protect her son. In a time when many whites claimed slavery had "good effects" on blacks, Uncle Tom's Cabin paints pictures of three plantations, each worse than the other, where even the best plantation leaves a slave at the mercy of fate or debt. By twentieth-century standards, her propaganda verges on melodrama, and it is clear that even while arguing for the abolition of slavery she did not rise above her own racism. Yet her questions remain penetrating even today: "Is man ever a creature to be trusted with wholly irresponsible power?"
From AudioFile
Classic nineteenth-century literature can be difficult to read and hear. But this production is an exception. Buck Schirner's characters are so vivid, so well enunciated, that we wish Stowe had created more people for Schirner to give voice to. His characters argue about slavery, lament their fortunes and survive by their wits. He gives each person emotion and depth and reads Stowe's prose with conviction. Indeed, it's hard not to, given the moral force behind her words. The only negative is when Schirner reads in his own voice, which is low and flat. Because of his excellent vocal work, though, the book reminds us that the debate over race and human worth was as vivid in the 1850's as it is today. R.I.G.

湯姆叔叔的小屋
比想象中的要好看很多。 爱与善良的故事,心灵净化书。 好吧,看完之后我都想用那个小女孩的名字做英文名。
評分小学时候的我就已经听说过这本书了,几乎是书店必备书籍。但是每次我都是拿起来翻几页,就没兴趣看下去了。因为小时候的我正为白雪公主、仙德瑞拉、哆啦A梦之类的废寝忘食呢,像汤姆叔叔之类的名著之流完全不上心滴!觉得满纸都是我看不懂的枯燥乏味的废话。直到现在,已经大学...
評分作者的世界观太歪了。全篇充斥着天主教的软广告。多到让人无法忍受。故事也假的离奇。描写的并不是一个真实的世界,仿佛是作者脑海里的世界。好人最后就可以上天国,坏人就必将噩梦连连,同样是反对蓄奴的文章,马克吐温的就中立的多。至少他不会从神学的角度来述说奴隶们的悲...

評分我是不会写东西的,在这写书评无疑就是把自己当靶子,就像圣·克莱尔先生那样,只批驳别人却不设自己的立场,大概才更符合我的性格。 这本书,我八岁开始看,看过许多版本,少年时有缩略的--我极度痛恨的版本,后来看完整的译文,高二时看了原版。这本书从不离开我...
黑奴籲天錄,小說很長,在ibook上看的,點個贊!基督徒的廢奴運動的美國extention!
评分劇情很不錯,很多情節都很深刻,有的讓人感動,有的讓人憤怒,很給力。人物刻畫的不錯,tom和george反差真大,又很吸引人。對話太多瞭,很多廢話,單詞量雖然不大,口語俚語很多,不太好懂。引用的句子有的還挺難,不好理解。8.4吧,很不錯。
评分小時候看的是簡寫版,挺喜歡這個故事(因為是小孩子所以隻記得住美好的一麵),於是長大後重溫。政治性大於文學性,真實深刻,但宗教說教占比太重。
