One of the earliest known published works written by an African
author, The Interesting Narrative was a groundbreaking memoir that
helped pave the way for the abolition of slavery. In it, Equiano
describes his early life in Africa, his abduction and his gruelling
journey across the world on a slave ship. Published in London once
Equiano had secured his freedom, the runaway success of the book
led to his financial independence, and he toured England, Scotland
and Ireland lecturing on the horrors described in the book, and he
dedicated his life to advocating for the abolition of slavery.
Forgotten until the 1960s, The Interesting Narrative has again shot
to fame, and is now considered the most detailed account of a
slave's life, exposing the trials of the long road to freedom.
