Mod Lib Interesting Narrative/Writings

Más información sobre el libro

"In this eighteenth-century memoir, Olaudah Equiano recounts his life story, which begins when he is kidnapped in Africa as a boy and sold into slavery and culminates when he has achieved renown as a British antislavery advocate. The narrative "is a strikingly beautiful monument to the startling combination of skill, cunning, and plain good luck that allowed [Equiano] to win his freedom, write his story, and gain international prominence," writes Robert Reid-Pharr in his Introduction." "The text of this Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the definitive ninth edition of 1794, reflecting the author's final changes to his masterwork."--Jacket
