Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American slave
(Audiobook CD)

Compact disc.

Originally released as a sound recording in 1995 by Joss Recordings.

Read by Jonathan Reese.

In 1845, just seven years after his escape from slavery, the young Frederick Douglass published this powerful account of his life in bondage and his triumph over oppression. The book, which marked the beginning of Douglass's career as an impassioned writer, journalist, and orator for the abolitionist cause, reveals the terrors he faced as a slave, the brutalities of his owners and overseers, and his harrowing escape to the North. It has become a classic of American autobiography.
