The Master's House: A Tale of Southern Life is a novel written by Logan and first published in 1854. The story is set in the antebellum South, and revolves around the lives of a group of slaves and their masters. The main character is a slave named Tom, who works on a plantation owned by a wealthy family. Tom is an intelligent and capable young man, and his master recognizes his potential. However, Tom's life is turned upside down when he falls in love with a fellow slave named Lucy, who is owned by a different plantation owner. The two lovers face numerous obstacles, including the disapproval of their masters and the harsh realities of life as a slave. The novel explores themes of love, freedom, and the complexities of race relations in the pre-Civil War South.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
