Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

4.0

Many pages had me tearful and many passages had my heart twisting in my chest. To taste slavery in the shoes of Douglass is a real eye-opener, for as bitter as slavery already sounds, hearing its pains told firsthand makes it tenfold harder to imagine. I wish the book had more details, more stories, more personal relations of Douglass as a slave, but it's truly a remarkable book considering the academic level of its author.
