Le roman qui bouleversa la consci<strong>en</strong>ce de l’Amérique.<br />

Premier roman américain ayant dépassé le million d’exemplaires v<strong>en</strong>dus, il contribua<br />

amplem<strong>en</strong>t à déf<strong>en</strong>dre la cause abolitionniste au nord des Etats-Unis avant la guerre de<br />

Sécession. Bi<strong>en</strong> que le personnage de l’Oncle Tom symbolise aujourd’hui la complicité du<br />

bon noir face à l’oppression blanche, il n’a jamais cessé d’être réédité dans le monde <strong>en</strong>tier<br />

et il a été traduit <strong>en</strong> soixante langues.<br />

“Into the emotion-charged atmosphere of mid-ninete<strong>en</strong>th-c<strong>en</strong>tury America Uncle Tom’s Cabin<br />

exploded like a bombshell. To those <strong>en</strong>gaged in fighting slavery it appeared as an indictm<strong>en</strong>t of<br />

all the evils inher<strong>en</strong>t in the system they opposed ; to the pro-slavery forces it was a slanderous<br />

attack on ‘the Southern way of life’. (...) Whatever its weaknesses as a literary work – structural<br />

loos<strong>en</strong>ess and excess of s<strong>en</strong>tim<strong>en</strong>t among them – the social impact of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the<br />

United States was greater than that of any book before or since” (Printing and the Mind of Man).<br />

Quelques taches et brunissures, peu prononcées ; charnières fragiles, consolidées ;<br />

les témoins de la reliure de l’éditeur (type B) sont un peu usés.<br />
