Krátky popis
A NEW YORK TIMES AND NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEARA New York Times
bestseller, the incredible true story of a couple that escaped
slavery in the South and eventually made their way to the UK,
Africa and beyond. The remarkable true story of Ellen and William
Craft, who escaped slavery through daring, determination, and
disguise, with Ellen passing as a wealthy, disabled White man and
William posing as ",his", slave. In 1848, a year of international
democratic revolt, a young, enslaved couple, Ellen and William
Craft, achieved one of the boldest feats of self-emancipation in
history.Posing as master and slave, while sustained by their love
as husband and wife, they made their escape together across more
than 1,000 miles, riding steamboats, carriages, and trains that
took them from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North.
Along the way, they dodged slave traders, military officers, and
even friends of their enslavers, who might have revealed their true
identities. The tale of their adventure soon made them celebrities,
and generated headlines around the country.Audiences could not get
enough of this charismatic young couple, who travelled the country
drawing thunderous applause as they spoke alongside some of the
greatest abolitionists of the day. But even then, they were not out
of danger. With the passage of an infamous new Fugitive Slave Act
in 1850, all Americans became accountable for returning refugees
like the Crafts to slavery.Then yet another adventure began, as the
Crafts fled to England to embark upon a new life. With three epic
journeys compressed into one monumental bid for freedom, Master
Slave Husband Wife recounts both a ground-breaking quest for
liberty and justice, and an unforgettable love story.
