Frederick Douglass's Autobiographical Works is a powerful collection of writings that provide profound insight into the life of one of the most influential figures in American history. Through a series of autobiographies, including 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,' Douglass eloquently narrates his journey from slavery to freedom, highlighting the brutality of slavery and his relentless pursuit of education and liberation. His literary style is marked by its clarity, honesty, and emotional depth, making his works not only historically significant but also a testament to the power of human resilience and intellect in the face of adversity. Douglass's autobiographies are essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race, freedom, and social justice in 19th-century America. With firsthand accounts of his experiences as a slave and his remarkable achievements as a leader in the abolitionist movement, Douglass's Autobiographical Works offer a unique perspective on the struggles and triumphs of African Americans during a critical period in American history.
Frederick Douglass (c. 1818 February 20, 1895) was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, known for his eloquent and incisive antislavery writings and speeches. His literary corpus primarily consists of autobiographical works, which are considered significant contributions to the genre, particularly as they provide an in-depth look at the inhumanities of slavery from the eyes of a former enslaved individual. Douglass's first autobiography, 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave' (1845), was widely read and propelled him into the national spotlight, influencing public opinion on the issue of slavery. He later expanded his autobiography with 'My Bondage and My Freedom' (1855) and completed the series with 'Life and Times of Frederick Douglass' (1881; revised in 1892), giving a more comprehensive view of his life and the context of his times. These works are lauded for their narrative clarity, moral force, and unflinching examination of the personal and societal impacts of slavery. Douglass's literary style is characterized by direct, vivid, and powerful prose, which serves to convey the urgency of his message and the depth of his convictions in the struggle for freedom and equality.

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.

Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.

Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
