"Onkel Tom's Hütte: oder die Geschichte eines christlichen Sklaven" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses the harsh realities of slavery in America, following the lives and struggles of various characters, particularly focusing on Uncle Tom, a deeply religious and compassionate slave who endures great suffering for his faith and the wellbeing of those around him. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the societal issues surrounding slavery, as well as the main character, Uncle Tom, through a mixture of earnest reflections and societal commentaries. The opening includes a preface that sets the tone of the book, conveying the moral imperative against slavery and the author's observations of its brutal realities. Additionally, it introduces various characters, such as the kind but troubled St. Clare and the naive Miss Ophelia, who attempt to navigate the complexities of a society built on the foundations of human oppression. The narrative hints at rich emotional themes and sets the stage for the exploration of deeply personal and societal struggles that individuals face in the context of slavery.
