Frederick Douglass's Life Story was a bestseller since its publication in 1845. The author describes his life journey as a slave from a Maryland plantation to his acclaimed flight to Massachusetts in 1838, where he became a fervent abolitionist and a Courageous defender of women's rights. Passionately written, often using the blow of biblical images, we find ourselves before one of the greatest exponents of so-called "slave narratives"; An impressive text not only because of its historical and testimonial value, but also because of its correct analysis of the relations between masters and slaves and their indisputable literary consistency
Book review
I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 OUT OF 5 STARS
This book reminds me of a movie
Called "freedom."
Douglass's recurrent motives are the pursuit of slaves; The treatment of slaves as property or a value of wealth; Freedom in the city in contrast to forced labor on rural plantations; Slavery as perversion of the Christian and others. He uses symbols such as sand paths, white ships (symbolizing the feeling of freedom), the Colombian speaker, etc.
