About this audiobook

Among the most “banned” books in the United States, Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is a novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe which treats slavery as a central theme. Stowe was a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist.

The novel is believed to have had a profound effect on the North’s view of slavery. In fact, when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe, President Lincoln is said to have commented, “So you’re the little lady whose book started the Civil War.” First published on March 20, 1852, the story focuses on the tale of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave, the central character around whose life the other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners-revolve. The novel depicts the harsh reality of slavery while also showing that Christian love and faith can overcome even something as evil as enslavement of fellow human beings.

The listener is about to enter a world rich with diverse characters. In order to differentiate between the characters, the reader has given each, his/her own voice. As an adult male reader, however, the reader's representation of women and children will, necessarily be less than adequate. He asks for your indulgence.

    A very detailed and insightful review of living conditions in the South during 1800’s.

    To ban this book would be to ban history.

    Best book I’ve ever listened to by far. Such powerful meaning and a brave write especially when one considers the period in which it was written and by a woman no less. I’d recommend this to anyone who wishes to delve into our dark past as a nation and try to imagine how they might’ve been impacted by this story and the realities thousands of lost souls suffered through under the guise of a righteous nation with liberty and justice for all except those who were trapped in servitude for most of not all of their lives. Bless all the lost souls of past and thank god for this important piece of literature that changed perspectives of enough people to then fight to abolish slavery in this land forever! Thank you Harriet Beecher Stowe for writing this brilliant novel and shedding light on a darker side of our past. ~ R Wiley
