An autobiographical account of a childhood and youth spent in slavery by a man who became a great abolitionist and leader of anti-slavery activity. Upon its publication in 1845, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, became an immediate best-seller. In addition to its far-reaching impact on the antislavery movement in the United States and abroad, Douglass's fugitive slave narrative earned it a place among the classics of nineteenth-century American autobiography.
