Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins - since few slaves of that period could write - the Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power. This book is only 75 pages long, but is full of valuable information about Frederick Douglass (1818-1895).
