"The night is far spent; the day is at hand." "They shall see the son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory." This is a short booklet by Harriet Beecher Stowe about the Coming of Jesus Christ that even the humblest reader will be captured by. Stowe, herself, was very religious from early childhood and throughout her life. She has written many books with religious stories, studies and poems, though her most well known work is Uncle Tom's Cabin. A thorn in the angry eyes of American slave owners, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist. Her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) became one of the most famous literary attacks on slavery at the time. The novel was also turned into a play and adapted to the movie screen more than once. The latest version from 1987 features Samuel L. Jackson, one of the most popular actors of his generation. Stowe also wrote numerous travel memoirs, letters, articles, and short stories – all crucial to the depiction of the injustice of African Americans we still hear about today.
