Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
by Frederick Douglass
As someone who is getting back into reading this book proved to be something that showed me why I fell in love with reading as a child. It follows Douglass's life through to his escape from slavery and the beginning of his life in New York. I found this book very eye opening as the horrors of slavery. Even months after I finished it I still vividly remember a scene in which an enslaved person was trying to escape, was caught and then refused to get out of a river only to be shot down by musket fire. This scene in conjunction with the scene where Douglass talks about the randomness of whippings helped show me the sheer violence and abject horror an enslaved person would see in their life. I highly reccomend.
