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.
