Olaudah Equiano's Narrative recounts his kidnapping in Africa at the age of eleven, his service as the slave of an officer in the the British Navy and his years of labor on slave ships until he was able to purchase his freedom in 1766. As a free man on a Central America plantation, he supervised slaves: increasingly disgusted by his co-workers, he returned to England in 1777. In England he worked for the resettlement of blacks in Sierra Leone, married an Englishwoman and became a leading and respected figure in the anti-slavery movement. A fascinating autobiography, a tale of spiritual quest and fulfillment, a sophisticated treatise on religion, politics and economic, The Interesting Narrative is a work of enduring literary and historical value.
