My Bondage and My Freedom

De: Frederick Douglass

Narrado por: Don Hagen

This is ex-slave Frederick Douglass' second autobiography. It was written after 10 years of reflection following his legal emancipation in 1846, and his break with his mentor, William Lloyd Garrison, catapulted Douglass into the international spotlight as the foremost spokesman for American blacks, both freed and slave.

Written during his celebrated career as a newspaper editor and speaker, My Bondage and My Freedom reveals the author of the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, written in 1845, has grown more mature, forceful, analytical, and complex, with a deepened commitment to the fight for equal rights and liberties.

classic masterpiece

an enlighten narration, skillfully written. I loved the introduction as well. Fredrick Douglass lives on.

Get it.

I hated the narrator at first very much, almost quit. but it was so interesting I kept going, and about half way thru started liking the narration as well. By the end of the book I had concluded he was the perfect narrator for this book. You really shouldn't have a discussion on anything antebellum until you read this.

Heartbreaking and inspiring

The narrator really made me feel as if Mr. Douglas were reading the story himself. Eloquently written, this story has made me go down the rabbit hole of Frederick Douglas. Highly recommended

A history I was never taught

Attending grade school in the south in the 60s, Fredrick Douglas was seldom mentioned and never explained, and what a loss for me and others like me. He was eloquent and his insights ring true today.

What a legacy

This book is so inspiring! What an amazing man. People today who blame others for not succeeding in life should really read this book.
