Description
The Interesting Narrative of the Life ofOlaudah Equiano is the biography of an African slave that calls himself also Gustavus Vassa. The narrative relates his service to the British Navy after he was kidnapped with the age of ten and sold to the English and concludes when he gained renown as a British anti-slavery backer. The beautiful autobiography relates how hard it was to be a labor slave and constantly had in his mind and wanted to gain independence. Olaudah Equiano studied the Bible carefully, saved the hard-worked money, and in 1766 he purchases his freedom. What followed in his life was a success in education and business and his advocacy in slave commerce. This full of spirit autobiography has a great historical value. Is a must read.
