Book summary

Frederick Douglass is born a slave on a plantation in Maryland, separated from his mother at birth. As a child he secretly learns to read, although it is forbidden, and understands that knowledge is the path to freedom. He tells of the beatings, the hunger, the resistance, and his escape to the North.

A deeply moving account, written by a man who became one of the great voices against slavery.

Its simple, powerful sentences make it easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

노예 소년, 몰래 글을 배우다. 일고여덟 살 무렵, 소년은 볼티모어의 새 주인집으로 갑니다. 주인의 아내가 알파벳을 가르쳐 줍니다.

The world of the book

노예제로 둘로 갈라진 나라. 미국 북부에서는 노예제가 폐지되었습니다. 메릴랜드 같은 남부에서는 허용됩니다. 큰 농장에서는 노예들이 밭에서 일합니다. 볼티모어는 배가 가득한 큰 항구입니다. 도시의 노예는 조금 더 자유롭고, 북부도 멀지 않습니다.
