Two Articles by Frederick Douglass - Frederick Douglass

Popis produktu

‘Two Articles by Frederick Douglass’ houses two of the abolitionist’s most important essays on race and equality. The first essay, ‘My Escape from Slavery’, details his daring bid for freedom from a plantation as well as his experiences on reaching New York. The second, ‘Reconstruction’, is an open letter to the white readers of the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ magazine, highlighting the importance of extending the vote to African Americans and the need for equal rights. The two essays are startling pieces of writing, with both documenting the struggles faced by African Americans at the time. ´Two Articles´ will delight any person already familiar with Douglass' body of work. Frederick Douglass (1818-1995) was an American abolitionist and author. Born into slavery in Maryland, he was of African, European, and Native American descent. He was separated from his mother at a young age and lived with his grandmother until he was moved to another plantation. Frederick was taught his alphabet by the wife of one of his owners, a knowledge he passed on to other slaves. In 1838, he successfully escaped slavery by jumping on a north-bound train. After less than 24 hours, he was in New York and free. The same year, he married the woman that had inspired his run for freedom and started working actively as a social reformer, orator, statesman, and women’s rights defender. He remains most known today for his 1845 autobiography ""Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave."" saga egmont N new in stock ebook N N N N N N 138 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 13227 19786 41738 two-articles-by-frederick-douglass-frederick-douglass Knihy knihy 2adecbdb70a0e1d87a2bfd434e747c39415cd2081a21f4a35b6cb5a44d6d078b 23fe61516a452925deb5efe8b636be18691f20811bb3dc7e57805300b8424354 1467a7b4822deb839aacbe56da73c2a9ffe29fbcfad2612db1be98f848f93031 N N 2026-05-18 04:31:36 138 0 689691690 Abolition Fanaticism in New York - Frederick Douglass https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fe-kniha%2Fabolition-fanaticism-in-new-york-689691690 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/a/abolition-fanaticism-in-new-york-9990003843500-5.jpg "‘Abolition Fanaticism in New York’ is a speech written by Douglass and delivered in 1847. Proving that the pen can be mightier than the sword, Douglass deftly used his linguistic abilities to create a rousing appeal to the English to shame America into abolishing slavery. Witty, moving, and always intelligent, this is a superb read for anyone with an interest in one of America’s most unsung heroes.
