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 464ed2e2dbb930a55fc4862578cf7d628a7e32d2ba5eb8b6877bcee94152fda7 23fe61516a452925deb5efe8b636be18691f20811bb3dc7e57805300b8424354 1467a7b4822deb839aacbe56da73c2a9ffe29fbcfad2612db1be98f848f93031 N N 2026-08-24 04:13:27 138 0 689690486 Why is the Negro Lynched? - Frederick Douglass https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fe-kniha%2Fwhy-is-the-negro-lynched-689690486 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/w/why-is-the-negro-lynched-9990003843463-5.jpg "Written just a year before his death, ‘Why is the Negro Lynched?’ is one of Douglass’ most moving and passionate speeches. Still sadly-pertinent today, his skill as a wordsmith is captured in passages that discuss everything from law and respect for human life to religion and the necessity for belonging. An expert orator, Douglass presents his arguments as though they were part of a court case, deftly switching between the roles of prosecution and defence, before passing sentence against the white establishment of the time.

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave was published ten years before in 1845, while The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass was published twenty-five years later. Frederick Douglass was born a slave and escaped to freedom in his twenties. My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) was written after he had established himself as a newspaper editor. In this book, Douglass expands upon his previous accounts of his years as a slave. With great psychological penetration, he probes the longterm and corrosive effects of slavery and comments upon his active resistance to the segregation he encounters in the North. saga egmont N new in stock ebook N N N N N N 333 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 13227 19786 41738 my-bondage-and-my-freedom-frederick-douglass Knihy knihy 69d2e87cd6ebbc7e6daa10f0099764f6d76be8d3c7adcf1aa52b9f515b5989f9 9e0a4c744ab2280dab3ba7dc22e131224cd6fdbd441c44e2ee862e439361920f 376b31f7318ee56df53c2d57237d14100360e1700d0ef6b4b44e052b1a8b822a N N 2026-08-24 04:13:27 333 0 689689884 The Octopus - Frank Norris https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fe-kniha%2Fthe-octopus-689689884 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/t/the-octopus-9990003843449-7.jpg An unsentimental look at the lives of farmers and businessmen in the late 19th century, ‘The Octopus’ details the expansion of the railroad, its tracks spreading out like tentacles across the US. We follow the farmers as they are slowly crushed by the pressures put on them by this new industry, due to the greed and corruption of cold, corporate businessmen, who are willing to go to unsavoury lengths to ensure they do not lose out on the possible financial rewards. Written without any romanticism, ‘The Octopus’ gives a fascinating insight into the effects of industrialism, and the subsequent avarice that inevitably follows. Frank Norris (1870 – 1902) was born Benjamin Franklin Norris, in Chicago. Widely hailed as the first American ‘naturalist’ writer, he was the son of a self-made businessman and an actress. After the death of his brother, Norris went to Paris to study art at the Académie Julian. While there, he was introduced to the novels of Émile Zola, who was to profoundly influence his work. His later studies at the University of Berkeley exposed him to the works of Charles Darwin, which would heavily impact his writing. It was at university, via the ‘San Francisco Wave´, that he first published his stories. When he left Berkeley to go to Harvard, he was persuaded to pursue a literary career by fellow author, Lewis E Gates. Many of Norris’ works deal with how corporate corruption affects those at the lower end of the financial spectrum, and further act as fantastic documents of American life in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. saga egmont N new in stock ebook N N N N N N 528 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 13227 19786 41738 the-octopus-frank-norris Knihy knihy 2635b79e4ffb69688eead848f047b0ccf0dcff70844027188704a8943898e0b3 1dd9c422c98d05e6c4597c180b878719572672a71649e66cb24bc6264f4db992 235d6543e850de8a92f5a78586e320936fe60344aa34125bab7c9981d34a4588 N N 2026-08-24 04:13:27 528 0 689814853 XB-1: 2024/06 - kolektiv autorů https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fkniha%2Fxb-1-2024-06-689814853 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/x/xb-1-2024-06-9788090845794_6.jpg Červnové číslo konektor 9788090845794 new in stock Fantasy a Komiksy > Sci-fi > Česká a slovenská sci-fi N N N N N N 224 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 11031 19786 42893 xb-1-2024-06-kolektiv-autoru Knihy knihy d788c0e91bcc4f66f5d6c785ca7c4876fe4ae92129e1c0046a1e404e0e994449 b6068060ce6e0e72100a4d10ba9a4661ebadadd113ad24bf118696bb00ef538e f493ad665fbde21c6684dc93cb81c5f4230a28df7b719ff642fe66d8fb893cc0 N N 2026-08-24 04:13:27 224 0 689691329 John Brown - Frederick Douglass https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fe-kniha%2Fjohn-brown-689691329 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/j/john-brown-9990003843494-5.jpg "Written to honour the life of the eponymous abolitionist and activist, ‘John Brown’ is the transcript of a speech delivered by Douglass in 1860. While some saw Brown as a radical and a criminal, Douglass saw his friend as a man prepared to sacrifice his life so that others might be free. Passionate and powerful, the speech not only extolls Brown’s virtues, but also highlights the political and social issues faced by African Americans at the time. ´John Brown´ is an important read for anyone with an interest in social justice and injustice.

Tento úspech mu priniesol nielen slávu a peniaze, ale aj chuť pomáhať nevinným vo väzení. Zamestnal svojho nevlastného brata Harryho Boscha ako šoféra a poveril ho, aby „hľadal ihlu v kope sena", čiže preveroval listy, ktoré Hallerovi posielajú údajne nespravodlivo odsúdení väzni. A on potom zapojí všetky svoje profesionálne zručnosti, aby ich dostal z pekla väznice na cestu späť do normálneho života. Harryho zaujme list od Lucindy Sanzovej, ktorá je odsúdená za vraždu ex-manžela. Nájde v prípade viaceré nezrovnalosti a spolu s Mickym začnú hľadať dôkazy o Lucindinej nevine. Podarí sa im očistit meno Lucindy Sanzovej a vybojovať jej slobodu?
