Om denne boken

⛓️ Kidnapped. Enslaved. Resilient. Free.

Twelve Years a Slave is the harrowing and inspiring firsthand account of Solomon Northup, a free Black man from New York who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the American South. Held in brutal bondage for over a decade, Northup's story is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the importance of truth 🕊️.

Published in 1853 and rediscovered through a major film adaptation, this book is one of the most powerful narratives of slavery ever written—detailing the cruelty, injustice, and strength that defined one man's fight for freedom.

This annotated edition includes historical context, footnotes, and reading group questions—perfect for classrooms, book clubs, and anyone committed to remembering this vital part of history 📚.
