The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a biographical memoir of An American Slave written by Frederick Douglass and first published in 1845. Born into a family of slaves, Frederick Douglass educated himself through sheer determination. His unconquered will to triumph over his circumstances makes his story one of America's best and most unlikely success stories. Douglass' own account of his journey from slave to one of America's great statesmen, writers, and orators is as fascinating as it is inspiring. This is a true classic not to be missed.
