Édition originale, première émission avec toutes les remarques requises.D'abord publié sous forme de feuilleton en trois épisodes publiés par The National Era, revue abolitionniste publiée à Washington de 1847 à 1860, la publication en livre a été rapidement reprise par John P. Jewett et publiée avant la conclusion de la série en réponse à la popularité de la cause abolitionniste. Trois mille exemplaires furent vendus le jour de la publication, et avant son premier anniversaire, 300.000 exemplaires pour les États-unis.« In the emotion-charged atmosphere of mid-19th century America Uncle Tom’s Cabin exploded like a bombshell. To those engaged in fighting slavery it appeared as an indictment of all the evils inherent in the system they opposed ; to the pro-slavery forces it was a slanderous attack on ‘the Southern way of life’… the social impact of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ on the United States was greater than that of any book before or since »(PMM).Provenance : Eugene Field (1850-1895), écrivain américain, connu pour ses poésies pour enfants.

First Danish edition, printed the year after the first edition (Boston, 1852), of one of the most important works in American literature, ""Uncle Tom's Cabin"" Or Life Among the Lowly"". Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, the only book that sold better that century was the Bible. 300.000 copies of the novel were sold within the first year of its appearance in America alone, and it was not less successful in England. The work has had an immense impact on the history of slavery in America, and no other book has done as much to influence the way slavery and African-Americans were viewed by the rest of the world. It is said that Lincoln's first words after he met Harriet Beecher Stowe were: ""So this is the little lady who made this big war.""""Though she offered no practical solution to the slavery problem, Mrs. Stowe, with her scenes from ""Life Among the Lowly"", added the fuel of righteous anger to a fire already kindled"" it was her misfortune to see it spread until it involved the whole nation in civil war."" (One Hundred Influential American Books Printed before 1900, No. 61). ""[...] the social impact on the United States was greater than that of any book before or since."" (PMM 332).(PMM 332 - first edition).
