Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Mary Prince's account reveals the harrowing experiences of a slave in the Caribbean and her escape to London from her cruel owner, Mr. Wood. Her forthright narrative, published in 1831, ignited outrage and played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement during a time of intense debate over slavery. The book not only sold out in its first year but also inspired legal actions, marking it as a significant work in abolitionist literature. This edition includes the complete original text along with supplementary materials, enhancing its historical context.
