Beskrivelse
A gripping true story of Solomon Northup, a free man kidnapped and sold into slavery, who endures twelve harrowing years before regaining his freedom. This powerful narrative reveals his struggle and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship.
An extraordinary firsthand account of one man's fight for liberty amid the brutal realities of slavery in 19th-century America.
In 1841, Solomon Northup was a talented violinist living freely in New York when he was abducted and forced into slavery. Torn away from his family with little hope of reunion, he was sold to work on cotton plantations deep in the South.
For twelve long years, Northup endured the cruelty and injustice of bondage until he finally escaped in 1853. His memoir, first published that same year, became a vital voice in the heated discussions about slavery leading up to the Civil War.
This remarkable true story stands as a testament to Northup’s courage and determination in the face of overwhelming oppression. Its impact on American history and the fight against slavery remains profound.
