A review by corvusastrum
Onkel Toms Hütte by Harriet Beecher Stowe

2.5

I don't even know what to say that hasn't been said better already. Incredibly important, but badly written and - as it was the norm back then - quite damn preachy. Good to have read it, but I don't think I will again. 

This is not actually the edition I read. As it has been printed before the ISBN was a thing it is basically untraceable online. I'm just mentioning it here because it's full of absolutely breathtaking illustrations by an unnamed artist and I feel like it'd be a shame not to mention how much colour they brought to this reading experience.
