Über das Buch
Twelve Years a Slave is a compelling memoir recounting the true story of Solomon Northup, who was a freeman born and raised in New York. He had a family and a house, but all of this was taken from him in an instant when he was kidnapped to the deep south. In Twelve Years a Slave, Northup provides a graphic account of life as a slave and his detailed, observations of the antebellum American South.
Northup’s extraordinary story is a lesson in the enduring hope and resiliency of man, even in the face of the most harrowing of circumstances. Northup serves as a remarkable narrator who not only focuses on his own experience, but also provides complex accounts of the lives of other slaves in the community.
