Era una giornata freddissima del mese di febbraio, e nella città di P…, nel Kentucky ad ora già avanzata due gentlemen, seduti col bicchiere in mano in una ricca sala da pranzo, liberi dall’incomoda presenza dei servi, discorrevano con molto calore sopra un argomento di alta importanza.

Abbiamo detto due gentlemen, ma per modo di dire; perché uno di essi, attentamente osservato, a tutto rigore non appariva tale.

Era bassotto e atticciato, aveva lineamenti comuni e grossolani; il suo fare pretenzioso e superbo mostrava l’uomo plebeo che agogna di uscire dalla sua sfera.

Il panciotto vistoso, a vari colori, la cravatta turchina a pallini gialli, sbollante e svolazzante, corrispondevano in modo perfetto alla sua arroganza. Aveva le mani larghe e ruvide, piene di anelli. Portava sopra il panciotto una grossa catena d’oro con un fascio di ciondoli d’ogni colore e di grandi dimensioni, che, nel calore del discorso, era solito agitare con evidente soddisfazione.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was raised in a deeply religious family and educated in a seminary school run by her elder sister. In her adult life, Stowe married biblical scholar and abolitionist Calvin Ellis Stowe, who would later go on to work as Harriet’s literary agent, and the two participated in the Underground Railroad by providing temporary refuge for escaped slaves travelling to the American North. Shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Stowe published her most famous work, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a stark and sympathetic depiction of the desperate lives of African American slaves. The book went on to see unprecedented sales, and informed American and European attitudes towards abolition. In the years leading up to her death, suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, Stowe is said to have begun re-writing Uncle Tom’s Cabin, almost word-for-word, believing that she was writing the original manuscript once again. Stowe died in July 1, 1896 at the age of eighty-five.
