Book Description
This autobiographical account by a former slave is one of the few extant narratives written by a woman. Written and published in 1861, it delivers a powerful, unflinching portrayal of the brutality of slave life. Jacobs speaks frankly of her master's abuse and her eventual escape, in an amazing and inspirational account of one woman's dauntless spirit and faith.

Letto per l'esame di letteratura anglo-americana. malgrado l'argomento sia molto interessante e l'impegno di questa schiava (riguardo allo stile scrittura) sia da ammirare, il risultato non è dei migliori. Ci sono notevoli cadute di stile ed il linguaggio è, a volte, troppo semplicistico. é bello da leggere, comunque, per chiunque sia interessato al filone della "slave narrative".
