About this listen

This memoir written by writer, orator, and former slave Frederick Douglass describes, in gripping detail, the circumstances of his upbringing, his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners, and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845, this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early 19th century.

Superb performance of one of the most important books in the canon of American literature. This is an astonishing book about human depravity and the most basic survival, told by one of the finest writers in American literature. A must-read -- and as far as audiobooks go, a must-listen.

Superb in every way
