The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself
Born into slavery in Maryland in 1818, Frederick Douglass escaped slavery at the age of twenty and went on to become a renowned abolitionist, orator, writer/editor, feminist, and statesman, as well as the preeminent spokesman for his people during his lifetime.
An enlightening and incendiary text, The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass (first published in 1845) is an unparalleled account of the dehumanizing effects of slavery, as well as Douglass' own triumph over it. Douglass' testament to the atrocities that were committed during and after slavery are as impactful today as ever before.
