| Summary | "La case de l'oncle Tom; ou, vie des nègres en Amérique" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century. It addresses the harsh realities of slavery in America through the eyes of its main character, Uncle Tom, a Christian slave known for his kindness, resilience, and moral integrity. The work serves as both an emotional narrative and a powerful abolitionist manifesto, aiming to highlight the inhumanity of slavery and garner sympathy for its victims. The opening of the novel introduces readers to various characters and their circumstances within the context of a conversation between Mr. Shelby and a slave trader named Haley. Mr. Shelby reluctantly discusses the potential sale of the talented and trustworthy slave, Tom, highlighting the moral conflicts he faces due to his financial troubles. As the narrative unfolds, we meet Tom, a devoted and honest man, and glimpse the deep emotional bonds between enslaved individuals, including the touching relationship between Elisa and her young son, Henry. This sets the stage for the profound themes of loyalty, love, and the struggles against the oppressive institution of slavery that will be explored throughout the story.
