«La case de l'oncle Tom» is the novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published by Hachette in 2003 in paperback (380 pages, in French).
Tom, a generous slave, and Elisa, mother of little Harry, are sold by well-intentioned masters. Tom accepts his fate and falls into the hands of a ruthless master; Elisa flees with her son to Canada.

For readers aged 9 to 12 and for students of French who want to discover a classic of American literature.
Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist. She came from the Beecher family and wrote a popular novel called Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans. The book reached an audience of millions as a novel and play and was influential in the United States and in Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote over 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential both for her writings and for her public stances and debates on social issues of the day.
