I don't believe one can be more fully educated without having read this book (which becomes a greater pleasure to listen to as well).įrederick Douglass's story is one of great personal courage that transcends race, nationality or time. It was never a requirement in my schooling- and I wonder how many Americans and others have become acquainted with it. I am often greatly surprised that so few people have read this book (as I was surprised in myself at having neglected it for so long). I greatly enjoyed listening to this, reading along using a freely available text from the Gutenberg Project: It is to Librivox's great credit that it has attracted a dedicated reader to make it more easily available to the public. Frederick Douglass's autobiography is one of the finest and most inspiring books in American literature.
