SynopsisThe impassioned abolitionist and eloquent orator provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom. Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins, the Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive descriptions, and storytelling power., Former slave, impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor and eloquent orator whose speeches fired the abolitionist cause, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) led an astounding life. Physical abuse, deprivation and tragedy plagued his early years, yet with his tenacious character and relentless pursuit of self-education, he would overcome these obstacles to become a leading spokesman for his people. In this, the first and most frequently read of his three autobiographies, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom. Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins -- since few slaves of that period could write -- the Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in African-American history and the life of one of the country's most courageous and influential champions of civil rights., The impassioned abolitionist and eloquent orator provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom., Former slave, impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor and eloquent orator whose speeches fired the abolitionist cause, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) led an astounding life.

School Requirement
I started this book because it was required for school. But I really enjoyed it. It was written clearly and flowed well. I finished it in one weekend. I learned a lot about the tough life of Frederick Douglas whack compared with even tougher lives of other people who were tortured as slaves. An eye opener. I was impressed with his ability to overcome adversity and be so successful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Decent and Just Enough
Bought an "Acceptable" book and it was as described but before purchasing i asked to see photos. Although they said they did not have time to look through their inventory, it was disappointing that they could not even give consumers pictures of the actual item.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fascinating first hand look at slavery.
As most slaves could not read or write, this is an amazing inside look at the evil and injustice of slavery. A candid, honestly penned viewpoint.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
