A obra que originou o filme 12 Anos de Escravidão retrata a história de Solomon Northup, um homem negro nascido livre nos Estados Unidos, que após ter recebido uma falsa proposta de trabalho, foi sequestrado, drogado e comercializado como escravo, e passou doze anos em cativeiro, trabalhando, na maior parte do tempo, em uma plantação de algodão na Louisiana. Após seu resgate, Northup, com uma escrita simples e ágil, retrata os registros excepcionalmente vÃvidos e detalhados da vida de um escravo. Este é um dos poucos retratos da escravidão americana, redigido por alguém tão culto quanto Solomon Northup — uma pessoa que viveu sua vida sob a óptica de uma dupla perspectiva: ter sido tanto um homem livre como um escravo.

reviewed Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave: And Plantation Life in the Antebellum South on October 03, 2013 Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave: And Plantation Life in the Antebellum South
I am listening to the audio version of this, narrated by Lou Gossett Jr. (who does a great job!). I began it in anticipation of the release of the movie - wanted to read the original before seeing the movie. As I listen, all I can think is "how could this not be a movie?" and "the script must have practically written itself." The action and Northrup's descriptions are so evocative - he paints the picture in your mind. His fellow captives come across as real, living, breathing people. You see them, you hear them, you imagine and empathize with their suffering.
I highly recommend reading this - and if you want to be totally immersed in the story, the audio version read by Gossett, I highly recommend. (There are two other audio versions with other readers which I can't vouch for. I'm completely satisfied with my decision to go with Lou!)
I will also buy the ebook or print version, with Eakins notes, maps and scholarly research - that's how interesting this book is!
