Douglass, Frederick Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave
Signet Book March 1, 1989 0-451-16188-2 / 9780451161888 Paperback Near Fine
This classic text in both American literature and American history is read by Pete Papageorge with deliberation and simplicity, allowing the author's words to bridge more than 160 years to today's listeners. Following a stirr ing preface by William Lloyd Garrison (who, nearly 20 years after he first met Douglass, would himself lead the black troops fighting from the North i n the Civil War), the not-yet-30-year-old author recounts his life's story, showing effective and evocative use of language as well as unflinchingly e xamining many aspects of the Peculiar Institution of American Slavery. Doug lass attributes his road to freedom as beginning with his being sent from t he Maryland plantation of his birth to live in Baltimore as a young boy. Th ere, he learned to read and, more importantly, learned the power of literac y. In early adolescence, he was returned to farm work, suffered abuse at th e hands of cruel overseers, and witnessed abuse visited on fellow slaves. H e shared his knowledge of reading with a secret "Sunday school" of 40 fello w slaves during his last years of bondage. In his early 20's, he ran away t o the North and found refuge among New England abolitionists. Douglass, a r eputed orator, combines concrete description of his circumstances with his own emerging analysis of slavery as a condition.
