In 1841, he was kidnapped and forced into slavery for twelve years. With the help of his family and his fathers former master, Northup ultimately won his freedom and took the traders who betrayed him to court. He is best known for his autobiographical account of his enslavement, Twelve Years a Slave.</p><p>This book is the story of Solomon Northup, a free man of color, living in the North during slavery. Solomon is tricked, drugged and sold into slavery. His pleas of being wrongfully enslaved are met with a beating so severe that he keeps his true identity a secret from that point on. For the next twelve years, hes sold to several ruthless, vicious and despicable slave owners. Hes beaten and mistreated mercilessly, yet he never gives up hope of finally proving who he really is.</p><p>This story is absolutely heartbreaking and difficult to read, yet its a story that must be told and should be read by everyone. Few could deny that slavery is among the most shameful acts perpetrated by one culture of people upon another. Reading a first-hand account of the atrocities of slavery details a much more compelling depiction than could ever be found in any history book.</p><p>Sadly, Solomons story isnt unique, as there were many free people of color who had been sold into slavery by opportunists looking to make money at that time. Yet, his account of his twelve long and torturous years as a slave is a gripping and dramatic journey, as engaging as any novel.</p>...4027083Twelve years a slave2020https://www.gandhi.com.mx/twelve-years-a-slave-9791220247603/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3795041/ed390768-abba-4267-bc7e-6c6f3f0d633b.jpg?v=638385885807800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219791220247603_W3siaWQiOiI3NGJiMDM2OS02YTVjLTRmNmYtYjEyMi00NDQ4NjdlM2FiZTciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIwLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyMCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IkFnZW5jeSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDlUMDg6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9791220247603_<p>Solomon Northup (18081857) was a free-born African American from Saratoga Springs, New York.
