Physical abuse, deprivation and tragedy plagued his early years, yet through sheer force of character he was able to overcome these obstacles to become a leading spokesman for his people.\u003cbr\u003e In this, the first and most frequently read of his three autobiographies, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom.\u003cbr\u003e Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins -- since few slaves of that period could write -- the \u003cem\u003eNarrative\u003c\/em\u003e is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power.
