Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave: Written by Himself - Thryft

Harrowing escape and triumph of an enslaved man.

Reading Frederick Douglass’s own words offers a powerful connection to American history through the eyes of someone who not only survived the cruelties of slavery but became a pivotal figure in the fight for freedom. As he recounts the brutal realities of his life with such clarity and emotion, you'll be both educated and inspired by his journey from a slave to a renowned abolitionist leader. This narrative isn’t just a piece of history; it's an enduring testament to resilience and the human spirit.

Description

Former slave, impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor, and eloquent orator Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) led an astounding life. Through sheer force of character, he overcame physical abuse, deprivation, and tragedy to become a leading spokesman for his people. In this autobiography, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood, horrifying experiences as a slave, dramatic escape to the North, and eventual freedom. Published in 1845, the Narrative is admired for its passion, vivid descriptions, and storytelling power. It is a must-read for anyone interested in African-American history and the life of a courageous civil rights champion. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
