About this title

Synopsis

This edition is written in font size 16. 12 Years a Slave: Extra Large Print is also available in bold and font size 24.

Now a major motion picture, this remarkable memoir details Solomon Northup’s twelve years of slavery, from his capture and his being sold into servitude, to his eventual release. This classic text shows the sheer brutality that was inflicted on slaves in the Deep South, as well as the humanity that eventually helped Solomon regain his freedom.

Also included in this version of Twelve Years a Slave is biographical information detailing Solomon Northup’s life after his release from slavery, and a glossary with helpful information on rare and obscure words.

First published in 1853, 12 Years a Slave is the extraordinary account of one man's courage in the face of cruelty and injustice.

From the Back Cover

This story of the abduction of a free Negro adult from the North and his enslavement in the South--provides a sensational element which cannot be matched in any of the dozens of narratives written by former slaves. 'Think of it: For thirty years a man, wit all man's hopes, fears and aspirations--with a wife and children to call him by the endearing names of husband and father--with a home, humble it may be, but still a home...then for twelve years a thing, a chattel personal, classed with mules and horses....Oh! it is horrible. It chills the blood to think that such are.'
