Pełny opis 12 Years a Slave, Illustrated by Solomon Northup, 9781481916783.
12 years a slave - The Actual People of the True Story. Released
during the 160th anniversary of the freeing of Solomon Northup in
Marksvillle, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. First published in 1853, this
gripping first hand account of how it felt to be a slave in the deep
south captures the suffering and ultimate triumph of a New York free
black man who was kidnapped into slavery in Louisiana. For the first
time ever published, see the real faces of some of the actual people and
places who Solomon Northup writes about. These are not actors, these
are the portraits of the men and women who Northup met. This edition
contains historic photographs, some never published before, of the areas
and people of the Northup story. The illustrator lives in Avoyelles
Parish and has spent a lifetime collecting historic photos. Most of the
portraits and scenes in this edition taken from the files of his
Avoyelles Parish archives. Many descendants of these families still
reside in the area today. This edition of the book is dedicated to the
memory of Dr. Sue Lyles Eakin who spent a lifetime researching and
promoting the story of Solomon Northrup. This edition compliments her
work and her earlier edition of the 12 years a slave work. For footnotes
and more detail about the 12 years a slave book we also recommend Dr.
Eakin's work so a reader can get a more complete understanding of the
this important story. The story has been told in plays, movies and even
courtroom anniversary recreations in the Marksville, Avoyelles Parish
courthouse. The story was first made into a PBS televised movie in the
1980s, and the most recent version is a major motion picture.
