My Bondage and My Freedom
About this book
?? "He who would be free must strike the blow." ??
Frederick Douglass's My Bondage and My Freedom is a monumental work of courage, truth, and moral power—an extraordinary autobiography that exposes the brutal realities of slavery while celebrating the unbreakable strength of the human will.
Published in 1855, this second autobiography expands upon Douglass's earlier narrative, offering a deeper and more nuanced account of his journey from enslavement to freedom, from ignorance to enlightenment, and from oppression to self-determination. With unmatched eloquence and insight, Douglass recounts his early life in bondage, his quest for literacy, his daring escape, and his rise to become one of the most influential voices for abolition, justice, and human rights.
More than a historical document, My Bondage and My Freedom is a literary and philosophical masterpiece—a work that challenges the conscience of every generation. Through his words, Douglass transforms personal suffering into universal truth, making his story not just about slavery, but about the capacity of the human spirit to overcome darkness through knowledge, dignity, and courage.
A timeless testament to resilience and hope, this autobiography continues to inspire all who believe in the power of freedom and equality.
