Resumen del Editor
When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852, it became an international blockbuster, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States alone in its first year. Progressive for her time, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the earliest writers to offer a shockingly realistic depiction of slavery. Her stirring indictment and portrait of human dignity in the most inhumane circumstances enlightened hundreds of thousands of people by revealing the human costs of slavery, which had until then been cloaked and justified by the racist misperceptions of the time.

Historia
Josiah Henson (1789-1883) was born into slavery in Charles County, Maryland. He and his family escaped slavery in a long walk from Kentucky to Ohio. They were helped by Native Americans in the Ohio wilderness and sympathetic boatmen who carry them across Lake Erie to Buffalo, New York. In Canada, Henson organized the Afro-Canadian community and became involved in projects that emphasized independence from white patronage.

Historia
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Harriet Jacobs’ autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs’ depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North.

"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” writes Du Bois, in one of the most prophetic works in all of American literature. First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it. Du Bois’ writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington.

Historia
"This is the story of Mary Prince", who was sold into slavery at the age of 12 for £38 sterling. It is the first account of the life of a black woman ever to be published in the United Kingdom, and it was published at a time when slavery was still legal in the British Colonies. "The history of Mary Prince" is firsthand testimony of the brutalities of enslavement. Its tone is direct and authentic, which makes this vivid story go straight to the heart.

Historia
Harriet Jacobs’ autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs’ depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.

Historia
David Walker, the son of an enslaved man and a free black woman, was an entrepreneur, abolitionist, author and anti-slavery activist. In 1829, he published An Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World, a radical call for black solidarity and resistance to slavery. It raised awareness of the abuses of slavery, encouraged pride in its black readers and offered hope that change would eventually come. Being a radical anti-slavery document, it caused a stir upon publication, as it called upon readers to take an active role in fighting their oppression, regardless of the risk.

Historia
A psychological thriller before its time, James Hogg’s Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, published in 1824, takes us back to the world of 18th-century Scotland, into a mind haunted by religious obsession, and driven to commit murder. The events are told from several different viewpoints, so that truth and reality appear to dissolve in this disturbing story of the dark legacy of Calvinist doctrine, and how it led one man to madness.

Historia
First published in 1873, The Gilded Age is both a biting satire and a revealing portrait of post-Civil War America - an age of corruption when crooked land speculators, ruthless bankers, and dishonest politicians voraciously took advantage of the nation's peacetime optimism. With his characteristic wit and perception, Mark Twain and his collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, attack the greed, lust, and naiveté of their own time in a work that endures as a valuable social document and one of America's most important satirical novels.

Spectacular reading - get this version!
As the "book that changed a nation," Uncle Tom's Cabin is a must-read and a fantastic piece of literature and history. The story is compelling and Stowe's writing style is unlike any author I have read. But this narrator.... he does an absolutely incredible job of portraying these characters and bringing them to life. His voices and singing of the hymns make this book come alive in a way that reading it myself would never have done. Get this version!

Great literature for its time!
A tale of both the triumph and the tragedy of the human spirit. The proselytizing was constant and was sometimes annoying, but it was a powerful weapon against the evils of slavery. In history, Uncle Tony gets an incredibly bad rap.

I have always wanted to read this book but never had the chance. Listening was a much preferred option. The narrator was wonderful. Such a beautiful singing voice too. His passion for the story was inspiring. I had no idea how many stories were intertwined into this book and how powerful it would be.

An Enduring Classic!
This novel stood in firm defiance of the time and culture in which it was written.
While it seeks to fairly portray all sides and viewpoints of its central issue, it nevertheless harshly critiques not only those who openly committed these atrocities, but those who knowingly turned a blind eye or sought to offer up justification.
Furthermore, within this timeless tale of Man’s steadfast spirit in the face of oppression and God’s unending Grace in the midst of heartbreak, there are many lessons which are still well-served to be learned and applied in today’s equally turbulent society.
I heartily recommend this book to one and all!

Enlightening, Powerful and Captivating
Such an important message for our times. Controversial because of stereotypes, no doubt, but those portrayals were necessary to portray the truth as the author witnessed it. The narrator drew us into this early 1800s world credibly portaying slave owners, slaves, unionists, men, women and children as he embedded us in their world. His passionate portrayal of each character was credible and captivating as he presented the author's version of each of their roles of the story.

Incredible book and narration
I’ve never written a review of an audiobook before, but I feel like I need to express how truly incredible the narrator was here. His voice tells this story in a way I don’t think anyone else’s could. He brings life to the characters, delivers their feelings with genuine storytelling, and does this important boom justice. I cannot recommend this enough, it was just phenomenal, powerful, and moving.

Every American should read this book!
I really can't say enough good things about this book. I picked this one up because of its historical significance. Published after the fugitive slave act of 1850 was enacted but before the civil war started, it provides a very interesting look into the thoughts and attitudes of the time, but more than that, it was an excellent story. I found myself laughing out loud at times and fighting back tears at others. I was amazed that a story written over 170 years ago could still be so poignant today . The narrator absolutely made the audio book. What a fantastic performance! I have already recommended this one to all of my family members and most of my friends. Uncle Tom's Cabin is something every American and every Christian should read.

Easy to get sucked back in time every time I got in the car
I enjoyed the slower relaxed “southern” speaking style. The story was riveting. The narrator had a rich deep voice which sometimes made inflection difficult when speaking as a child.
