La caba a del t o Tom materializa el sentir de los abolicionistas de su tiempo, su narrativa refiere escenas del diario vivir y su lectura despierta fort simas emociones. La irradiaci n de esta obra fue uno de los disparadores que precipit la guerra civil estadounidense.

I Onkel Toms hytte følger vi den gode, pligtopfyldende slave Tom. I starten af bogen er Tom en dybt værdsat og betroet slave hos en rar, hvid familie i Kentucky, men da familien kommer i store økonomiske problemer, bliver de – meget imod deres vilje – nødt til at sælge Tom. Han ender til sidst hos den brutale slaveejer Legree i Louisiana. I mellemtiden arbejder han som slave forskellige steder, men må leve adskilt fra sin kone og sine børn. Ud over Tom hører man bl.a. om Eliza og hendes mand George, der stikker af i håbet om at opnå frihed i Canada, om den lille, hvide pige Eva, der tydeligt fornemmer slavernes lidelse, og som bliver tæt knyttet til Tom, og om den uvidende slavepige Topsy, der bliver Evas veninde. Onkel Toms hytte var den mest solgte roman i 1800-tallet og den anden mest solgte bog overhovedet – kun overgået af Bibelen. Den findes i dag på næsten alverdens sprog, og selvom den oprindeligt er skrevet for voksne, har den erobret en sikker plads i den klassiske ungdomslitteratur.

In 1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe published her abolitionist novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, an instant classic acclaimed by Northerners and other abolitionist readers but Southerners, - slave owners - attacked the book's accuracy. The following year Stowe responded with this detailed, and rapidly best-selling, defense of her work, citing the real-life equivalents and evidence for her characters.

"La caba a del T o Tom", es hoy en d a un cl sico de la literatura norteamericana y un emotivo alegato contra la esclavitud. Sin embargo, cuando fue publicada por primera vez en 1852, se convirti en un xito instant neo, vendiendo m s de 300.000 copias el a o de su publicaci n, haciendo que la novela se transformase en el ariete de los abolicionistas del Norte contra los esclavistas del Sur, y -seg n reza la leyenda- uno de los motivos por el que comenz la Guerra de Secesi n norteamericana. La novela narra las vicisitudes de Tom, esclavo de una familia acomodada del norte, que es vendido para pagar las deudas de su amo; desde ese momento Tom ir conociendo sucesivos amos (buenos, como Santa Clara y su hija Eva, y otros nefastos como el malvado due o de plantaci n Legre ). Ah se enfrentar de primera mano con la dura realidad de la esclavitud: hambre, dolor y trabajo sin fin. Pero a pesar de todo el sufrimiento, la fe y dignidad de Tom nunca desfallecen. Harriet Beecher Stowe fue profesora, escritora, y sobre todo una activista abolicionista que con la publicaci n de "La caba a del T o Tom" pretendi denunciar el sistema esclavista de la poca.
