First published in 1789, this autobiography of Olaudah Equiano comprises a variety of styles, such as a slavery narrative, travel tale, and spiritual journey. It recounts Equiano's time as a slave, and chronicles his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his freedom.

A Historical Treasure
Revisado: 04-01-22
Not only was Olaudah Equiano's life story astonishing, heart wrenching, horrific, beautiful and filled with faith, hope and industry, it was also an extremely rare first hand accounting of a free African, turned slave, cleverly freed man. Most African slaves were recorded in U.S. census records during slavery times only by their age, skin color and gender, with no hope of further information about their lives. Olaudah's writing and life events were so interesting that I visualized it like a high adventure television mini series. His faith was inspiring. His bravery and self respect were absolutely astounding in the face of extreme adversity. And the villains he continually contend with made me cringe for humankind. I highly recommend this book and believe it should be required high school reading!

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Unexpectedly beautiful story about what it means to be a family, a dab of faith, and struggling through living in a racially disparate society.
