There is no person who has not been moved by reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's immortal work, which has been translated into thirty-seven languages and is the book that, more than any other, contributed to the abolition of slavery in the United States. Barba-Thomas, little Eva, Topsy, Simon Legree, are names that have entered the everyday vocabulary of all the peoples of the world. And the dramatic adventures of black people, whose families are torn apart to be sold here and there, influenced and still influence today the way of thinking and the emotional world of those who believe in freedom and equality.
