About this listen

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.

Another eye opening story.
