It is also a chilling insight into the ‘peculiar institution.’ ” —Saturday Review PeNGuiN ClASSiC AuGuST A harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history Twelve Years a Slave Solomon Northup Introduction by Ira Berlin Henry Louis Gates, Jr., General Editor Born a free man in New York, Solomon Northup was abducted in Washington, D.C., in 1841 and spent the next twelve years of his life in captivity as a slave on a Louisiana cotton plantation. After his rescue, he published this exceptionally vivid and detailed account of slave life—perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives. It became an immediate bestseller and today is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave. n Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Brad Pitt, directed by Steve McQueen (Hunger), and starring Chiwetel Ejifor (Children of Men) n First time in Penguin Classics n A new addition to Penguin Classics’ series of African American classics under the general editorship of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. soloMon noRthuP (1808–c. 1863) was a free man kidnapped into slavery in 1851.
