John Brown - Frederick Douglass

Popis produktu

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. 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 124 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 13227 19786 41738 john-brown-frederick-douglass Knihy knihy 1a1d769ed86ac29b803761525defbcb0cadd8c0f603f8fab3c5831c826628218 ae63c2f1cc16a6582ab77d559c4d0f89c1bdc326bb578838e7d3313c3597a1cf 95d73723135f7cb0f285e5315779c6c13f21c10726b0bcce21c052a049fa0bd5 N N 2026-03-06 04:26:06 124 0 689691690 Abolition Fanaticism in New York - Frederick Douglass https://www.tkqlhce.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.
