Summary

This classic of American literature, a dramatic autobiography of the early life of an American slave, was first published in 1845, when its author had just achieved his freedom. It is a story that shocked the world with its first-hand account of the horrors of slavery. The book was an incredible success. It sold over 30,000 copies and was an international best seller. His eloquence gives a clear indication of the powerful principles that led Douglas to become the first great African-American leader in the United States.

Great little book that talks about the horrors of slavery and what evil humans can be capable of, and also a great inspiring story about humanity being in every one if us as well as the urge to fight all adversity against all odds.
Plenty more so definitely recomend reading it.
