The Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave, is a powerful personal sketch of the life of white-acclaimed author William Wells Brown, a former slave who decided to first escape from slavery and then tell his story. In his work, Brown reveals the brutal realities of the slavery system and reveals the mental anguish he endured in his pursuit of freedom. This book reveals to readers not only the terrible truth about slavery in America, but also reflects the spiritual wars of his own personality. This is a shocking testimony of the lack of dignity, the destruction of personal freedom and hopes of a person in conditions of cruelty and ruthlessness towards human life."
