湯姆叔叔的小屋

內(nèi)容概要

Late in the afternoon of a chilly day in February, two gentlemen were sitting alone over their wine, in a well-furnished dining parlor, in the town of P-in Kentucky. There were no servants present, and the gentlemen, with chairs closely approaching, seemed to be discussing some subject with great earnestness.    For convenience sake, we have said, hitherto, two gentlemen. One of the parties, however, when critically examined, did not seem, strictly speaking, to come under the species. He was a short, thickset man, with coarse, commonplace features, and that swaggering air of pretension, which marks a low man who is trying to elbow his way upward in the world    作者簡(jiǎn)介：Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist, whose novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) attacked the cruelty of slavery; it reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the U.S. and Britain. It made the political issues of the 1850s regarding slavery tangible to millions, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North. It angered and embittered the South. The impact is summed up in a commonly quoted statement apocryphally attributed to Abraham Lincoln. When he met Stowe, it is claimed that he said, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!"

作者簡(jiǎn)介

　　斯托夫人（1811－1896），美國(guó)作家，生于康涅狄格州的牧師家庭，后遷至與南方蓄奴州只有一河之隔的辛辛那提，耳聞目睹了許多黑人遭難種植園主殘酷剝削的故事，并全家參與到協(xié)助黑人逃亡的工作中。后在姐夫的鼓勵(lì)下，寫出一部控訴黑人血淚的小說(shuō)，這就是《湯姆叔叔的小屋》。此書對(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)的廢奴運(yùn)動(dòng)產(chǎn)生巨大的推動(dòng)作用，并直接導(dǎo)致南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的爆發(fā)。據(jù)說(shuō)，林肯總統(tǒng)曾稱斯托夫人為“寫了一本小書，卻釀成了一場(chǎng)大戰(zhàn)的女人”。　　斯托夫人的另一個(gè)成就是描寫新英格蘭風(fēng)情的小說(shuō)，如《奧爾島上的明珠》、《老鎮(zhèn)上的人們》等?！　　稖肥迨宓男∥荨吩?901年即由林紓譯成漢語(yǔ)，書名為《黑奴吁天錄》，在現(xiàn)代文學(xué)史上產(chǎn)生重要影響，至今仍是廣大青少年讀者最喜愛的外國(guó)小說(shuō)之一。
