In 1853, this book shook American society and heralded the Civil War. 160 years later, it inspired Steve McQueen and Brad Pitt to create a cinematic masterpiece that has won many awards and accolades, including the 2014 Oscar for best film of the year.<br />As for Solomon Northup himself, the book was a confession for him about the darkest period of his life.

The translator has retained the author&#39;s style, which shows that Solomon Northup was not only learned but also literate.
