Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass (Audiobook) (1845)
Chapter Guide at The Bottom
First published in 1845, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass became Frederick Douglass's most well-known work. It is as the name implies his autobiography.
Frederick Douglass was born a slave and underwent horrendous treatment at the hands of his owners. He later escaped to the north and became an outspoken abolitionist. Not only did he have a great life story to tell, his skill in telling it has long been admired. Douglass travelled throughout Europe lecturing about slavery.
After publication, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass quickly became a best seller and within three years there were over 11,000 copies published in the United States, had been reprinted nine times and had been translated into two languages (Dutch and French). The book was so well written that some argued that an ex-slave could not be as articulate as Frederick Douglass demonstrated himself to be. Of course, Douglass did write the book and it stands today as a monument to the human spirit and what may be achieved with hard work no matter where in society somebody may begin.
Frederick Douglass had to leave the United States and flee to Ireland for a period after the books publication and its immediate success for some believed that Douglas' ex-owner Hugh Auld might try to get his "property" returned. After two years he was able to return to the United States after his freedom was purchased for $710 from Auld.
If you are interested in learning about the life of a great man who rose above his birth as a slave and became one of the greatest literary figures in American history, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is the book to read.

    @AnayikaThompson I have a request please. Are you able to read "The Philadelphia Negro Book by W. E. B. Du Bois" Please? I am assigned this book for my concepts of population and disease class and I am having a really hard time keeping up with the reading along with my other school work. If you could I would appreciate that so so so much. I'm not sure if you take request like this but I thought that it was worth a try.

    This is my first time reading/listening to this incredible man's journey to freedom and I am moved beyond words. The narration was excellent and the writing of Frederick Douglass is certainly an historical treasure to be remembered always. It was a terrible part of American history.

    I read this in jail and enjoyed it a great deal. He was a slave quite a long time before he finally decided to make a break for it. He even beat up one of his "masters" (who was absolutely terrible). He would see boats in the harbor and wonder what it would be like to be on one heading north. He once said, "I spend my life praying to God to set me free, but nothing happened until I prayed with my legs). I believe he was also married to a white lady (if I remember correctly) which was quite progressive for the time.

    I believe that we all can gain some true knowledge and an understanding as to are own ways in which we have slaved and enslaved those from which were to be the unfortunate and were closest round, and also to are selves efficient in ways of doubt and negativity capable only tobe amount able, only fears insecurities into selfish mutilation. This has surely made me more conscientious of my capabilities and responsibilities to first myself,never stop being who I'am. But also to everyone around to reflect and bring about more of those of us who are capable and inspire to speak out. Truly and sincerely Le'Anna E. Leahy❤ please read listen and stand-up we all together can make changes to make a difference thank you Dave Chappell ❤❤❤😊
