It remains as powerful today as it was when first published in 1789. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt tells the story of Equiano's remarkable life, recounting his years of slavery, working on ships that carried him across the empire and into battle during the Seven Years War, and the extraordinary story of how he was able to purchase his own freedom. Travelling to Britain as a free man Equiano settled in London and there became a leading figure in the early abolition movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe publication of his narrative was carefully timed to coincide with the first attempt to abolish the slave trade. Describing his own experiences of slavery as both victim and witness, the book became a sensation and its author the most famous black person in Georgian Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new edition, leading historian David Olusoga sets the book in its historical context helping us to understand this complex, spiritual, politically astute and deeply passionate man. Although Equiano did not live to see the abolition of the slave trade or slavery his voice was critical to that that long campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olaudah Equiano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613820968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613820964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Olaudah Equiano","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939183001855,"sku":"9781613820964","price":18.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8ed9a382-4e24-4244-91d6-878e8c549137.jpg?v=1681439987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-interesting-narrative-of-the-olaudah-equiano-9781613820964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
