"Setä Tuomon tupa" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century.

The opening of the novel introduces readers to the Shelby family, who own a sizable plantation where Uncle Tom serves as a trusted slave. Mr. Shelby faces financial difficulties and is pressured to sell Uncle Tom and a young boy named Harry to pay off his debts. Despite his good nature and kind treatment of his slaves, Mr. Shelby's circumstances force him into a morally troubling position.
