A beautifully written book about the terrible early life of Frederick Douglass. The book is his life from birth till shortly after being freed. He mixes his life story with truths about the human condition and the depravety there of. He makes some interesting statement about how religious slave owners were functionally the worst kind and obviously wildly hypocatous. Also how his ability yo educate himself lead to his more concrete codification of his discontentment. He also made the observation that he was most discontented with being a slave when things were relatively good. When in extremely bad circumstances, he only focused on the imidate and not as much the long term or overall condition.
