《汤姆叔叔的小屋》，19世纪极具影响力的小说（其销量仅次于《圣经》），并被认为是刺激1850年废奴主义兴起的一大因素。在其发表的头一年里，仅美国本土便销售出了三十多万册，这在19世纪中叶可是天文数字。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》对美国社会的影响如此巨大，以致在南北战争爆发的初期，当林肯接见斯托夫人时，曾说到：“你就是那位引发了一场大战的小妇人。” 后来，这句话为众多作家竞相引用。

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, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called “the most popular novel of our day.” 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.
