Story
Born into “the blessings of liberty in a free State,” Solomon Northup was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Bayou Boeuf region of Louisiana’s Red River Valley. Twelve Years a Slave is the chronicle of his captivity at the mercy of sadistic plantation owner Edwin Epps, who tested Northup’s tenacity and self-control under the most brutal conditions. Until fate brought a Canadian abolitionist to Epps’s farm, Northup thought he would never draw another free breath.

Story
Northup's only written work is his autobiography, Twelve Years a Slave: Narrative of Solomon Northup. A Citizen of New York, kidnapped in Washington City in 1841, and rescued in 1853, from a cotton plantation near the Red River in Louisiana (1853), Northup's slave narrative, the tale of a free African American man who is kidnapped, sold into slavery, and lives as a slave for 12 years, was not only a best seller for its genre and time; it was revolutionary.

Story
12 Years a Slave is the harrowing account of a black man, born free in New York State, who was drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in 1841. Having no way to contact his family, and fearing for his life if he told the truth, Solomon Northup was sold from plantation to plantation in Louisiana, toiling under cruel masters for twelve years before meeting Samuel Bass, a Canadian who finally put him in touch with his family, and helped start the process to regain his freedom. This extraordinary text is the basis for the major motion picture starring Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Story
Solomon Northup levede som fri mand med sin familie i New York, da han i 1841 blev kidnappet som slave under en rejse til sydstaten Washington D.C., hvor slaveri endnu var tilladt før den Amerikanske Borgerkrig. Med pisk fik han banket sin nye identitet ind i kroppen, inden han blev solgt til en plantageejer i Louisiana. Gennem tolv år oplevede han slaveriet indefra med al dets brutalitet, daglige fornedrelse og konstante frygt. Men aldrig vandt fremmedgørelsen over ham.

Story
Solomon Northup lebte über dreißig Jahre als freier Bürger, bis er von Sklavenhändlern verschleppt und an einen Plantagenbesitzer in Louisiana verkauft wurde. Dort erlitt er zwölf Jahre grausamster Gefangenschaft, ehe er seine Freiheit zurückgewann und zu seiner Familie heimkehren konnte. Northups Memoiren von 1853 sind ein wertvolles historisches Dokument über ein dunkles Kapitel amerikanischer Geschichte und das berührende Zeugnis eines mutigen und unnachgiebigen Mannes.
