This work was produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain. The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is also one of the first widely read slave narratives. The book contains an interesting discussion of slavery in West Africa and illustrates how the experience differs from the dehumanising slavery of the Americas. It discusses his time spent in slavery, serving primarily on galleys, documents his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his own freedom and in business thereafter. The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, written in 1789, is the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. Widely admired for its vivid accounts of the slave trade, Olaudah Equianos autobiography - the first slave narrative to attract a significant readership - reveals many aspects of the eighteenth-century Western world through the experiences of one individual.
