A first-person narrative of Olaudah Equiano’s journey from his
native Africa to the New World, that follows his capture,
introduction to Christianity and eventual release. His story is an
eye-opening depiction of personal resilience in the face of
structural oppression. Olaudah Equiano’s origins are rooted in
West Africa’s Eboe district, which is modern-day Nigeria. He
details the shocking events that led up to his kidnapping and
subsequent trade into slavery. His journey starts at 11 years old,
forcing him to come of age in a society that abuses him at every
turn. During his plight, he attempts to find new ways to survive,
educating himself and eventually formulating a plan to obtain his
freedom. In The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah
Equiano, the author illustrates the harsh realities of slavery.
Upon its release, the book was well-received and translated into
multiple languages including German and Dutch. It set the precedent
for many first-person narratives that would highlight their own
unfathomable experiences. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Interesting
Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is both modern and
readable.
