A Narrative on the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
'You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man.' Both a memoir and abolitionist statement, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is considered one of the most important and influential writings of the abolitionist movement of the early 19th Century in the United States. The book details the events of Douglass's life, documenting the cruel brutality and injustice of a slave's life as well as the immorality of slavery itself.
