For some reason, I had it in my head that this book was much longer than it was. Likely because of the historical significance of this short volume, I imagined it to be lengthier. Nevertheless, Douglass manages to include a heartbreaking amount of sorrow and pain into these pages, most of which focus on his enslavement in the antebellum south. Perhaps not surprisingly, this book often made me think of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was written during the same era for a similar audience. Overall, this made for a good read and considering the length, well worth the time. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
