nové vydání klasické anglické četby I was born in Tuckahoe I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never
having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part
of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs,
and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their
slaves thus ignorant.'
Thus begins the autobiography of
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) who was born into slavery in Maryland
and after his escape to Massachusetts in 1838 became an ardent
abolitionist and campaigner for women's rights. His Narrative,
which became an instant bestseller on publication
in 1845, describes his life as a slave, the cruelty he suffered at the
hands of his masters, his struggle to educate himself and his fight for
freedom. Passionately written, often using striking biblical imagery,
the Narrative
came to assume epic proportions as a founding anti-slavery text in
which Douglass carefully crafted both his life story and his persona.
This new edition examines Douglass, the man and the myth, his complex
relationship with women and the enduring power of his book. It includes
extracts from Douglass's primary sources and examples of his writing on
women's rights.
