The novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) quickly gained worldwide fame and recognition. Written in the sentimental style of "women's prose" characteristic of the nineteenth century, this book produced a tremendous revolution in public sentiment, gaining an important place not only in literary history, but also in the cultural and political history of the United States. In this edition, the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is presented in its complete form, without the bills and omissions typical of Soviet translation, and is accompanied by remarkable rare illustrations by the artist Grigory Filippovsky (1909-1987). The book also includes the religious-historical novel Agnes of Sorrento, published ten years after Uncle Tom's Cabin. The novel is set in sunny Italy in the late 15th century, during the reign of the infamous Pope Alexander the Sixth. Beautiful, young Agnes dreams of devoting herself to the service of God, leaving in a convent. However, her beauty attracts the persistent attention of men, including a young bandit leader, excommunicated from the church, and the stern abbot of the monastery....
