Uncle Tom's Cabin de Harriet Beecher Stowe

Uncle Tom's Cabin: Mint Editions (Political and Social Narratives)

Autor Harriet Beecher Stowe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2020

Găsim în paginile acestui volum o arhitectură narativă ce împletește destine multiple, construite prin perspective care se ramifică din inima suferinței și a speranței. Deși figura centrală rămâne unchiul Tom, structura operei permite cititorului să urmărească traiectorii paralele, precum fuga disperată a Elizei sau dilemele morale ale familiei Shelby. Această ediție Collins Classics nu se limitează la textul literar, ci oferă un aparat critic impresionant, incluzând prefețele originale din 1852 și documente istorice despre mișcarea aboliționistă, elemente care ancorează ficțiunea în realitatea brutală a vremii. Suntem de părere că forța cărții rezidă în capacitatea sa de a transforma discursul politic în emoție pură, folosind dragostea creștină ca antidot pentru dezumanizare. În tradiția scrierilor lui Harriet Beecher Stowe, cum este și American Woman's Home, acest roman continuă să exploreze valorile morale și structura socială americană, însă o face cu o virulență și o pasiune care au transformat-o într-un fenomen mondial. Față de alte lucrări ale epocii, Uncle Tom's Cabin se distinge prin refuzul autoarei de a se ascunde în spatele unui anonimat protectiv, abordând frontal teme precum rasa și naționalismul. Credem că ritmul narațiunii, deși marcat de sentimentalismul specific secolului al XIX-lea, păstrează o actualitate frapantă prin modul în care analizează relațiile de putere și demnitatea umană în fața opresiunii.

Despre autor

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) a fost o scriitoare și aboliționistă americană de renume, provenind dintr-o familie cu puternice convingeri religioase. Cariera sa a fost marcată de publicarea a peste 30 de volume, însă Uncle Tom's Cabin rămâne lucrarea care a propulsat-o pe scena internațională, devenind o figură emblematică a luptei împotriva sclaviei. Spre deosebire de multe contemporane, Stowe și-a asumat public opiniile, indiferent de controversele generate. Opera sa reflectă o preocupare constantă pentru justiție socială și moralitate creștină, influențând decisiv opinia publică din Statele Unite și Marea Britanie în secolul al XIX-lea.

Notă biografică

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist. Her religious upbringing in Connecticut was enriched with a classic academic foundation. In 1832 she moved to Cincinnati, where she connected with literary and social salons. In the aftermath of violent race riots that rocked the city, Stowe and her husband immersed themselves in anti-slavery activism, including participation in the Underground Railroad. In 1850 she moved to Maine with her family, and within two years published Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). The nation's polarizing reaction to publication was immediate, becoming the second best-selling book of the 19th century, following the bible.

---------

Uncle Tom's Cabin is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War," according to Will Kaufman.

Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day."

The book 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 is averse to this idea 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 man as his friend and mentor.

When Eliza overhears Mr. and Mrs. Shelby discussing plans to sell Tom and Harry, Eliza determines to run away with her son. The novel states that Eliza made this decision because she fears losing her only surviving child (she had already miscarried two children). Eliza departs that night, leaving a note of apology to her mistress.

Tom is sold and placed on a riverboat which sets sail down the Mississippi River. While on board, Tom meets and befriends a young white girl named Eva. Eva's father Augustine St. Clare buys Tom from the slave trader and takes him with the family to their home in New Orleans. Tom and Eva begin to relate to one another because of the deep Christian faith they both share.....

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 it caused a sensation. Its antislavery position proved to be one the most powerful cultural influences behind the Civil War. By emphasizing the moral failure inherent in slavery, it helped intensify the conflict between north and south. By the end of the year it had sold over 300,000 copies in the U.S. and more than a million abroad. It went on to be the nineteenth century's worldwide bestseller. To capitalize on the book's success the publisher released a lavishly illustrated gift version for the Christmas season. Widely known as the "Splendid Edition," the deluxe offering included over one hundred detailed engravings by Hammatt Billings, who had done six pictures for the original printing. The artfully integrated illustrations amplify the book's abolitionist ideas and capture its historical moment, lending the narrative a moving immediacy. Reissued for the first time, this facsimile edition gives general readers the chance to experience Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic in this most revealing form. It includes a substantial introduction by Bancroft-winning historian David S. Reynolds that situates the novel within the world of ideas and images operative at the time.

Recenzii

With its gripping plot and pungent dialogue, Uncle Tom’s Cabin offers readers today a passionate portrait of a nation on the verge of disunion and a surprisingly subtle examination of the relationship between race and nationalism that has always been at the heart of the American experience. This Broadview edition is based upon the first American edition of the novel and reprints its original illustrations and preface. In addition, it reprints all of the prefaces that Stowe wrote for authorized European editions of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, offers a wide array of appendices that clarify the novel’s participation in antebellum debates about domesticity, colonization, abolitionism, and the law, and includes sections on dramatic adaptations of the novel.

“Christopher Diller’s edition of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is, without a doubt, a major contribution. By tracing the novel’s critical reception and voracious consumption by a global audience for more than 150 years, Diller breathes new life into this best-selling text. Diller makes the work accessible to a variety of audiences: scholars; students in American Studies, history, and literature courses; and general readers who want to savor the emotive power of this American classic. He insightfully maps the reasons Stowe’s masterpiece continues to be anchored in the American literary tradition, and the degree to which it continues to lie at the foundation of this tradition in the 21st century. This is a masterly treatment of an American master text.” — Wilfred D. Samuels, University of Utah
“The Broadview Press edition of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a splendid addition to the scholarship on Stowe’s iconic and controversial novel. Christopher Diller’s superb introduction and imaginative selection of supporting materials provide a stimulating array of historical and literary contexts—and remind us of how alive this text remains.” — Joan D. Hedrick, Trinity College, author of Harriet Beecher Stowe: A Life (Oxford University Press, 1994)
