Book excerpt: The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano Or Gustavus Vassa, The African - A Slave Narrative - That part of Africa, known by the name of Guinea, to which the trade for slaves is carried on, extends along the coast above 3400 miles, from the Senegal to Angola, and includes a variety of kingdoms. Of these the most considerable is the kingdom of Benen, both as to extent and wealth, the richness and cultivation of the soil, the power of its king, and the number and warlike disposition of the inhabitants. It is situated nearly under the line, and extends along the coast about 170 miles, but runs back into the interior part of Africa to a distance hitherto I believe unexplored by any traveller; and seems only terminated at length by the empire of Abyssinia, near 1500 miles from its beginning. This kingdom is divided into many provinces or districts: in one of the most remote and fertile of which, called Eboe, I was born, in the year 1745, in a charming fruitful vale, named Essaka. The distance of this province from the capital of Benin and the sea coast must be very considerable; for I had never heard of white men or Europeans, nor of the sea: and our subjection to the king of Benin was little more than nominal; for every transaction of the government, as far as my slender observation extended, was conducted by the chiefs or elders of the place.

This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read & Co. History presents this brand new edition of “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African”, an autobiography published in 1798. Equiano (c. 1745-1797) was an African writer and abolitionist, who was taken into slavery as a child and transported to the British colony of Virginia. This personal account depicts the narrative of Equiano’s life during his years as a slave: from being purchased as a valet to a Royal Navy Lieutenant and his consequent journeys at sea; to being taught to read and write in Britain; and then his placement with Robert King, the wealthy trader who would eventually allow him to buy his freedom. Equiano’s memoirs were published 22 years after his release, once he had settled in London and became involved in the abolitionist movement. The work is one of the earliest published by a black African author, and achieved far-reaching popularity and critical acclaim, ultimately contributing to the passing of the British Slave Trade Act of 1807.

This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olaudah Equiano, born around 1745 in Isseke in Biafra in Nigeria today and died in Cambridgeshire March 31, 1797, better known in its time as the Gustave Vasa1, was a slave, freed, sailor and British writer calviniste1 of African origin, who lived mainly in the British colonies of America and the United Kingdom.According to his autobiographie, Equiano, son of a wealthy family Igbo, was abducted by two men and a woman (slave hunters) of an opposing tribe in Nigeria and became a slave at the age of ten or eleven years . Transferred to Barbados, it was acquired by a British officer he accompanied Virginia and England. We renamed it by giving it the name derisively of the Swedish king Gustav Vasa. Equiano became his master seaman and served during the Seven years. Sold to a dealer he bought it on July 11, 1766, his freedom for forty books1. He exercised the function of barber in London in 1767, before embarking again to successively joining New England, Nicaragua and the Arctic regions in the expedition led by the British naturalist John Constantine Phipps in 1773.He became an influential figure in the abolition of slavery and accompanied the installation of the first former black slaves to Freetown in Sierra Leone. The fight was not always successful. Thus, in 1783, with Granville Sharp, he sought to advance the abolitionist cause, arguing that a slave was not on a ship, a "commodity" like others. Indeed, the owner of the slave ship Zong, which the captain had been "forced" in 1781 to jettison its cargo of 132 slaves affected by a �pid�mie to avoid contagion, addressed to the British courts to determine s it was legitimate that it be compensated by his insurance as could be in this case when it came to animals. Despite the efforts of Equiano and Sharp, the Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, concludes that "so shocking that it was, if the slave was exactly similar to that of horses." At the request of abolitionist Olaudah Equiano published his autobiography in 1789, as The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African, written by himself, one of the few live testimony of the slave trade by of those having lived as qu'esclave. He tells the heartbreak that was the separation from his family, his fear of children, the conditions of his life as a slave. This testimony widely used by the British abolitionist movement and whose dissemination contributed greatly to fame of the former slave. Thus, Equiano knows a portrait he did run to 17807. It is represented as a young man in red wig and dress. The fact that this portrait has long been attributed to a painter of English high society of the eighteenth century, Joshua Reynolds, is an index of its fame to the end of his life
