ABOUT THE AUTHOR





Frederick Douglass was the most important African American of the nineteenth century and one of the most significant writers and orators in American history.



Douglass was born a slave and escaped at the age of twenty.



He was Fortunate to have learned to read as a boy, and he would develop this skill forbidden to slaves to become one of the great writers of his era, in addition to becoming the most celebrated orator of the abolition movement.



Over his lifetime he wrote three versions of his autobiography, all pf which are classics of the slave narrative and of American memoir.



This former slave met with Lincoln in the White House and rejoiced in the victory of emancipation.



He saw the promise of Reconstruction sashed by the resistance of former slaveholders and their allies, and he fought this betrayal as ferociously as he had fought slavery itself. As a lecturer he likely reached more listeners than any American of his century, and he lived with a modern dilemma of fame like few others of his era.





Would you like to know more?





Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass includes eleven chapters chronicling Douglass' life as a slave and his ambition to become a free man.

About The Author
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1817.
His mother was a slave, his father was white. When he was seven years old, he suffered the first of many brutal whippings and beatings that would scar him for life. He didn't know how to read or write, but he taught himself secretly.
He escaped slavery in 1838 and made his way to New York City, where he became a free man and published his autobiography.

The struggle and the progress are the key elements of the life story of Frederick Douglass.
Born into slavery, he becomes a prominent abolitionist who campaigns for an end to slavery in the US.

Frederick Douglass' autobiography is one of the most important documents of African-American literature.
The book, written in 1845 was a bestseller.
