Expose' of slavery
Literary standards have changed since the 1850s when this book was written, but it is still must reading for everyone who truly wants to understand both the good and the bad features of slavery in America. With great sensitivity and remarkable perception Mrs. Stowe follows the lives of slaves and their masters and traders in a vast assortment of graphic experiences. It is fiction, but I don't think anyone would dispute that the events are drawn from real life experiences Mrs. Stowe witnessed or was apprised concerning.
