About this listen

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an 1845 memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th century in the United States.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass encompasses eleven chapters that recount Douglass's life as a slave and his ambition to become a free man. It contains two introductions by well-known white abolitionists: a preface by William Lloyd Garrison, and a letter by Wendell Phillips, both arguing for the veracity of the account and the literacy of its author.

The most famous and inspirational works of Frederick Douglass include: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, My Bondage and My Freedom, Life and Times, Letter to Thomas Auld, The Frederick Douglass Papers Edition and many more.

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The book itself is probably great, but I could not get through even the first chapter because it was like listening to a robot.

This book made the experiences of slavery come into reality for me. I have read many books about CRT, but this book made the life of being a slave resonate within me. I would hope everyone would read this well written book. I recommend it without reservation.

This should be required reading.
