Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

When kind and devout Uncle Tom is sold to a brutal plantation owner, his unwavering faith and moral strength influence everyone around him. The novel weaves together the stories of multiple enslaved characters seeking freedom, love, and dignity in a system of violence and dehumanization. As the plot unfolds across various regions and social classes, it exposes the cruelty of slavery and calls for compassion and justice. The book was instrumental in galvanizing anti-slavery sentiment in America. It’s both a dramatic narrative and a powerful social protest.
