連載小說形式的「黑奴籲天錄」 (Uncle
Tom』s Cabin) 完成
1851年6月5日
「黑奴籲天錄」經常被改編為舞台劇，所以許多沒有讀過這本書的人，是在欣賞這齣震撼人心的舞台劇時、才知道這個故事的。雖然一開始這齣戲都是由白人演員喬裝成非裔美人演出，但是後來有一些製作人也開始用真正的非裔美人來擔任演員與歌手。到了1927年，「黑奴籲天錄」至少就已經被拍成七部不同版本的默劇。而1970年的版本則是由非裔美籍女演員厄莎凱特 (Eartha
Kitt) 擔綱演出。
這本深具紀念意義的書，到今日都還相當具有影響力。到書店買一本「黑奴籲天錄」，仔細閱讀一番吧！
Uncle Tom's Cabin was often produced as a play, so that many people who did not read the book saw it as a powerful stage drama. Although, especially at first, white actors usually played the African American parts in blackface, some productions starred African-American actors and singers. At least seven silent-film versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin had been made by 1927. The 1970 film version stars African-American actress Eartha Kitt.
The book, with its memorable characters, remains powerful today. Pick up a copy and read Uncle Tom's Cabin for yourself.
