Résumé :
In 1841, Solomon Northup was a free black man, married with three children and living in upstate New York, when he was tricked into going to Washington DC. There, he was drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery, eventually ending up on a plantation in the Red River area of Louisiana. For twelve years he experienced and witnessed the arbitrary beatings and whippings, around-the-clock back-breaking work, and countless other degradations that came with being enslaved in the antebellum south. Through the sympathetic ear of a white man and with miraculous timing, he was eventually freed and returned home. He then wrote this memoir and contributed to the abolitionist movement before disappearing from the pages of history. Like Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Twelve Years a Slave stands in stark contrast to the er?s bucolic propaganda that the enslaved in the south were well treated, well provided for, and made ?part of the family.? As a first-hand account, it exposes slavery for what it is: barbaric, dehumanizing, and evil.

Sommaire:
Twelve Years a Slave is the harrowing autobiographical account of Solomon Northup, a free African American man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the pre-Civil War United States. Born in New York, Northup was a skilled violinist and a family man, living a peaceful life with his wife and children. In 1841, he was lured to Washington, D.C., under the pretense of a job offer by two men, Brown and Hamilton, who drugged and sold him into slavery. Northup was transported to New Orleans and sold to a series of plantation owners, enduring the brutal realities of slave life for twelve years. Throughout his captivity, he witnessed and experienced the inhumanity of slavery, including severe beatings and the emotional torment of being separated from his family. Despite the oppressive conditions, Northup maintained hope for freedom. His chance came when he met a Canadian carpenter named Bass, who was sympathetic to his plight and helped him send letters to his family and friends in the North. These letters eventually reached Henry B. Northup, a relative of Solomon's father's former master, who initiated legal proceedings that led to Solomon's release in 1853. Northup's narrative not only provides a detailed account of his personal suffering but also serves as a powerful indictment of the institution of slavery, highlighting the moral and ethical contradictions of a nation that proclaimed liberty while condoning human bondage....
