七歲遭拐賣為奴，此後他再沒能回到家鄉—奧拉達艾奎亞諾的傳奇一生。訴諸口舌，也訴諸紙筆，以自身悲慘遭遇警醒世人，後半生投入廢奴運動的他雖未能親眼見證這場人類惡行的終結，但他血淋淋的親身經歷及留下的傳記與文章，最終加速了英國廢奴法案的通過。漫長為奴歲月裡的屈辱和虐待，刻下的傷痕難以撫平，而艾奎亞諾用終於贖回自由的下半人生，奮力拚搏，試圖阻止這場一再重演的悲劇。From the horrors of the slave trade to a book that changed the world, Catherine Johnson celebrates the incredible life of Olaudah Equiano in this gripping true story. Born in what is now Nigeria in 1745, Olaudah Equiano's peaceful childhood was brought to an abrupt end when he was captured and enslaved aged 11. He spent much of the next ten years of his life at sea, seeing action in the Seven Years' War.When he was finally able to buy his freedom, he went on to become a prominent member of the abolition movement and in 1789 published one of the first books by a Black African writer. Journey Back to Freedom focuses on Equiano's early life, demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit and one man's determination to be free.
