Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave by Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass's Narrative powerfully details the life of the writer, orator and abolitionist, from his birth into slavery and the circumstances of his upbringing, to his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845 this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early nineteenth century.
