Douglass, Frederick - Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - ( Item 140521 )

Published in London by Folio Society. 2022. First Printing. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is the powerful memoir of an American slave, published with photographic portraits and a new introduction exclusive to the Folio edition. Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass escaped bondage to become an abolitionist leader, orator and politician, and one of the most famous African-Americans of the 19th century. His autobiographical Narrative – an immediate bestseller in 1845 – was soon acknowledged as a pivotal text in the struggle against slavery. In this moving and beautifully written account, he lays bare a system that brutalised everyone it touched. Douglass tells of his childhood and youth under a succession of slaveholders, his secret efforts to gain an education, his dawning political consciousness and his determination to escape. This definitive Folio edition includes the complete text of the Narrative, along with Douglass's famous 1852 speech, 'What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?' Bound in striking gold cloth, it bears a photographic portrait of Douglass on the cover – one of eight chosen for the edition. In an exclusive new introduction, poet and literary critic Kwame Dawes emphasises how 'the struggle for the equality of people of African descent in the United States and around the world make this work relevant today.' Bound in printed and blocked gold cloth. Set in Bell. 200 pages. Frontispiece plus 6 colour photographs. Blocked slipcase. 8" x 5.25". ISBN: None .
