Born in “the blessings of liberty in a free state”, Solomon Northup was abducted and sold into slavery in the Bayou Boeuf area of Louisiana’s Red River Valley. Twelve Years a Slave chronicles his captivity at the mercy of sadistic plantation owner Edwin Eppes, which tests Northup’s tenacity and self-control under the most brutal of conditions. Until fate brought a Canadian abolitionist to Apes’ farm, Northup thought he would never take another free breath.
To this day, Northup’s harrowing memoir is considered the most reliable, accurate eyewitness account of the daily life of slaves. As an important historical reference, it is unsurpassed. As an authentic tale of a man hungry for his freedom, it is unforgettable.
