Sensational abolitionist novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Written in response the the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, it was first published serially from June 1851 to April 1852 in The National Era (D.C.). Within a year of the book's publication in 1852, sales records had been shattered: nearly 300,000 books sold in the U.S. and a staggering 1.5 million in Great Britain.

This edition is based on the first edition and includes the original illustrations.
