美国奴隶弗雷德里克·道格拉斯的生平自述

简介

Douglass’s first autobiography was published in Boston in 1845 by the Anti-Slavery Office, with prefaces by William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips. Seven years after his escape, it names places and people, which put him at risk of recapture. It describes his childhood separated from his mother, the violence on the plantations, his lessons with Sophia Auld, the fight with Edward Covey and, without details that could have endangered others, his flight. An appendix distinguishes the Christianity of slaveholders from the Christianity of Christ. Thousands of copies sold within months, translations followed, and the book became the best-known slave narrative; Douglass later expanded the story in My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) and Life and Times (1881).
