Equiano's Travels (African Writers S.)
eclector avatar reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


Rather amazing story for many reasons, an African boy, kidnapped and sold into slavery, learns to read and write, earns and saves money to buy and negotiate his freedom. He travels widely on sailing ships and writes about his life and adventures. And this is in the 1700's!
