Offering bright, cameo glimpses into a world that should not be forgotten, Douglass chronicles both the cruel violence of a system that saw him as little more than livestock, and the brighter moments of success, of courageous support from friends and allies. Initially greeted by some with doubt that it could have been written by a black man and former slave, the book had a profound effect on American society, making the author something of a celebrity and his cause less an abstract ideal and more of an urgent human concern. Solemn, powerful and passionate \u003ci\u003eThe Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\u003c\/i\u003e is more than an important historical document-it is a personal account of striving for human freedom in a world where the author was regarded as neither free nor human.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eFrederick Douglass\u003c\/b\u003e describes the author's life as a slave, his determined efforts to educate himself, and the casual, dehumanizing cruelty of bondage.
