Vida de un esclavo americano contada por el mismo (Spanish Edition)

by Frederick Douglass

Overview

hombre que nos habla de su propia experiencia vital, pero no lo hace por soberbia o porque estime que su vida es especialmente interesante, sino para ayudar a otros seres humanos que siguen siendo esclavos mientras él ha conseguido, después de muchos avatares, alcanzar la libertad. Los relatos de antiguos esclavos fueron un género literario que proliferó en Estados Unidos en el siglo XIX, al auspicio del movimiento abolicionista, que intentaba probar algo tan evidente para nosotros como que todos los hombres son iguales y que no se puede comerciar con los miembros de una raza como si de animales se tratara.

About the Author

Frederick Douglass was a prominent American author, abolitionist, and public speaker. Born into slavery in 1818, he escaped on a train and headed north to Maryland, Philadelphia, and eventually New York City, where he took refuge and became a famous orator and abolitionist. Douglass recounted the struggles he faced as a slave through multiple narratives, most notably his autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. The book became an instant bestseller, despite its initial opposition and skeptical reception. His other famous books include My Bondage and My Freedom and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.
