Solomon Northup's memoir recounts his shocking descent from freedom to slavery after being deceived by circus promoters. A talented violinist, he accepted a job that led to his abduction and sale into bondage in the South, where he endured both kindness and brutality over twelve years. Originally a bestseller, the book faded into obscurity until revived during the civil rights movement, later gaining renewed recognition through its acclaimed film adaptation. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, preserving its historical significance.
