Uncle Tom's Cabin (Civil War Classics)

To commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the end of the Civil War, Diversion Books is publishing seminal works of the era: stories told by the men and women who led, who fought, and who lived in an America that had come apart at the seams.

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel has understandably grown in stature since its publication, now viewed as one of the most powerful and effecting works of the era to changing public opinion on slavery.  As mesmerizing today as when it was published (and became the bestselling novel of the 19th century), the characters Eliza and George, Simon Legree, Little Eva, Topsy, and especially the noble and faithful Tom continue to resonate through the fabric of time.
