Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history. Brought to new attention by the Academy Award-winning film adaptation, it is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Solomon Northup

Solomon Northup nasceu em julho de 1808, um afroamericano descendente de escravos, nascido e criado como um homem livre, em Saratoga Springs, Nova Iorque. Foi sequestrado e mantido em cativeiro como escravo durante doze anos. Findo esse tempo, foi libertado. Além do livro que escreveu a relatar a sua experiência ao longo dos anos em que esteve preso, deu também dezenas de palestras, nos Estados Unidos, sobre as suas vivências enquanto escravo, a fim de apoiar a causa abolicionista. As circunstâncias e a data da morte de Northup são incertas. No entanto, e apesar dos muitos rumores a respeito do seu destino, suspeita-se que tenha morrido no ano de 1863.
