Uncle Tom's Cabin: or, Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe

5.0

Wow. What an amazing piece of literature. An impassioned, multifaceted, compelling treatise against all of the evils of the American system of slavery. Obviously a product of its unique time in history, there are flaws to overlook, primarily around broad generalizations and stereotypes, however the core message is so convicting and uplifting (and tearful and hard-to-stomach) as to stand the test of time. At the core is the beauty and strength of Christ as He attends to the needs of the poor, outcast, and brokenhearted, dealing frankly with His perceived silence on the face of historic injustice. Beautifully written, a real joy to read.
