"Onkel Tom's Hütte : oder die Geschichte eines christlichen Sklaven. Band…." by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story examines American slavery through interwoven journeys, contrasting the cruelty of the slave trade with acts of faith and compassion. It centers on Uncle Tom as well as the fugitive couple Eliza and George Harris, alongside figures like the trader Haley and sympathetic Quakers. The opening of the
novel follows Tom, sold and carried south by the trader Haley, whose pitiless calculations contrast with Tom’s steadfast Christian hope. A court-house auction in Washington tears an elderly mother, Hagar, from her son; on a riverboat, passengers argue over slavery while Haley secretly sells a young mother’s baby in Louisville, driving her to throw herself into the river. The scene shifts to a peaceful Quaker household where Rachel Halliday shelters Eliza and her son, reunites her with George Harris, and quietly organizes their night journey toward safety. At the start of the next movement, the narrative returns to the Mississippi: Tom, granted some trust, labors kindly among the crew and reads his Bible while the boat passes plantation after plantation, and we meet the New Orleans gentleman St. Clare and his ethereal little daughter, Eva.
