Memorie di una schiava. E-book. Formato EPUB Mary Prince - Edizioni Trabant, 2026 -
Cosa si prova a nascere in schiavitù e passare la maggior parte della propria vita sballottati da un padrone all'altro, soggetti a ogni tipo di abuso e violenza? Mary Prince aveva sperimentato tutto questo sulla propria pelle e lo racconta in modo tanto asciutto quanto crudo. Pubblicato nel 1831, The history of Mary Prince fu un grande successo editoriale nell'Inghilterra dell'epoca e dette un importante contributo alla battaglia che di lì a poco avrebbe portato all'abolizione della schiavitù in tutto l'Impero Britannico. Un tassello importante per non dimenticare una delle pagine più vergognose della storia contemporanea e qui presentato per la prima volta in lingua italiana.

SHORT BRIEFINGS ABOUT THE BOOK ARE AS FOLLOWS:- Short Briefings about the Author Mary Prince (c. 1 October 1788 – after 1833) was a British abolitionist and autobiographer, born in Bermuda to an enslaved family of African descent. Subsequent to her escape,[2] when she was living in London, England, she wrote her slave narrative The History of Mary Prince (1831), which was the first account of the life of a black woman to be published in the United Kingdom. This first-hand description of the brutalities of enslavement, released at a time when slavery was still legal in Bermuda and British Caribbean colonies, had a galvanizing effect on the anti-slavery movement. It was reprinted twice in its first year. Prince had her account transcribed while living and working in England at the home of Thomas Pringle, a founder of the Anti-Slavery Society. She had gone to London with her master and his family in 1828 from Antigua.
