Résumé

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is the moving autobiography by the former slave and prominent abolitionist. With unabashed honesty Douglass recounts his early years on a Maryland plantation, his relationships with his masters, his momentous discovery of the link between literacy and bondage, and his eventual flight to freedom. A bestseller when published in 1845, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was an influential text in the anti-slavery movement, and the power and clarity of Douglass's writing were a credible counter-argument to the prejudiced opinions towards African-Americans held by many at the time.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Frederick Douglass

Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (Frederick Douglass) was born a slave in Talbot County, Maryland. He took the name Douglass after escaping from the South in 1838. As a leader in the abolitionist movement, Douglass was famed for his eloquent yet incisive political writing. And, like his near-contemporary, Booker T. Washington, understood the central importance of education in improving the lives of African Americans, and was therefore an early proponent of desegregation.
A firm believer in equal rights for all, Douglass attended a meeting of the National Council of Women in Washington, D. C., in the hours before his death in February 1895.
