Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Narrative of Sojourner Truth is a foundational slave narrative and spiritual autobiography, first dictated to Olive Gilbert and published in 1850. It recounts Truth's bondage in New York, her separation from family, conversion, legal struggle to recover her son, and emergence as an abolitionist witness. Its style is plainspoken yet scriptural, shaped by oral testimony rather than literary ornament, and it belongs beside nineteenth-century narratives that made lived experience an argument against slavery. Born Isabella Baumfree around 1797, Truth endured enslavement under several masters before securing freedom in 1826. Her adopted name, Sojourner Truth, announced both a religious vocation and a public mission: to travel and speak truth against racial and gendered oppression. Her illiteracy did not diminish her authority; rather, the dictated narrative preserves the force of a voice formed by suffering, faith, labor, and radical moral conviction. This book is essential reading for students of American literature, abolitionism, women's history, and religious reform. It offers not only a record of injustice but also a model of self-fashioning, resilience, and prophetic eloquence. Readers seeking a concise yet profound encounter with nineteenth-century freedom struggles will find Truth's narrative indispensable.Copycat s.r.o., Schnirchova 662/22, Holesovice, 170 00 Prague 100 pp. Englisch.…
