Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: The Original 1845 Edition (The Autobiography Classics Of Frederick Douglass) Review: This compelling narrative reads like a novel and is a must-read. - Orphaned as a young child, Frederick Douglass, the African-American slave, endured overwork, whippings, beatings, prison, brutal and bloodthirsty masters, and additional shocking events. The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass tells in intriguing detail his journey from an illiterate slave to being freed, and becoming a gifted and distinguished author, is one that will have you one moment crying tears of anger and sadness, and the next, tears of joy at his numerous victories. Mr. Douglass fills your mind with vivid descriptions of the hardships and lives of slaves living in the south during the 19th century. This compelling narrative reads like a novel and is a must-read. My only complaint is that he did not give any details about his escape from slavery so that slaveholders would not be prepared to stop slaves from escaping using that method that Frederick used. This makes sense, but it is still a little anti-climatic. Review: I highly recommend this short - A bite-sized book that is SO well written even for someone that DIDN'T teach himself to read and write...except Douglas did. A page-turner and so noble. at a young age Frederick Douglas' master's wife endeavored to teach him to read (something that was forbidden in most homes) and his master caught them and chewed out his wife in Douglas' presence "You can't teach a slave to read! He becomes unmanageable with all those lofty ideas in his head - becomes unfit to do a slave's work!" And young Douglas reasoned, "if learning makes one unfit to be a slave, then I must learn to read." And so he did, as well as escape to the North to live to use his self-taught skills to tell his story. I highly recommend this short, beautiful, powerful book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0948LNQ4D | | Best Sellers Rank | #92,180 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #149 in Black & African American History (Books) #311 in Black & African American Biographies #2,609 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,573) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.24 x 9 inches | | ISBN-13 | 979-8749503234 | | Item Weight | 5.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 105 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2021 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: The Original 1845 Edition (The Autobiography Classics Of Frederick Douglass) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dK9aOB8ZS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This compelling narrative reads like a novel and is a must-read. *by B***B on March 9, 2017* Orphaned as a young child, Frederick Douglass, the African-American slave, endured overwork, whippings, beatings, prison, brutal and bloodthirsty masters, and additional shocking events.

I highly recommend this short, beautiful, powerful book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful but too short *by C***A on July 21, 2022* There are others books available that dive deeper into the details of his life. Frederick Douglass was a witty, thought provoking man who had a life few others experienced in that time period. The book is well written. It's certainly a page turner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: The Original 1845 Edition (The Autobiography Classics Of Frederick Douglass) - Thank You for Arguing, Fourth Edition (Revised and Updated): What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion - Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption (One World Essentials) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/330937261-narrative-of-the-life-of-frederick-douglass-the-original-1845](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/330937261-narrative-of-the-life-of-frederick-douglass-the-original-1845) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
