Aprašymas

First published in 1853, '12 Years a Slave' was written by Solomon Northup, an American abolitionist and the primary author of this memoir.

In 1841, Solomon Northup was seized and coerced into slavery for a period of twelve years. Northup's account is detailed in its account of life on a cotton and sugar plantation and the daily routine of slave life during the first part of the 19th century. The book relates the daily life of slaves in Bayou Beof, their diet, the relationship between master and slave, the means that slave catchers used to recapture them, and the hideous actualities that slaves suffered.

Equivalent to the accounts of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Ann Jacobs, and William Wells Brown, it is a spellbinding narrative of the life of freedom and slavery encountered by one African American man prior to the American Civil War.
