Sinossi

Frederick Douglass's "Autobiographical Works" presents a compelling and transformative account of his journey from slavery to freedom, encapsulating the profound struggles against oppression. Douglass employs a potent literary style that fuses eloquent rhetoric with vivid imagery, inviting readers to witness the brutal realities of antebellum America. His works, including "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" and "My Bondage and My Freedom," are not only autobiographical accounts but also foundational texts in American literature and social reform. Douglass's narrative style, which intertwines personal anecdotes with broader social critique, reflects the burgeoning genre of the slave narrative, situating him as a leading voice in the abolitionist movement and advocating for human rights. Frederick Douglass, born into slavery in 1818, emerged as a prominent abolitionist, orator, and writer. His experiences as a runaway slave informed his commitment to articulate the injustices faced by African Americans. Educated through sheer determination, Douglass's profound insights into the human condition and his mastery of language enabled him to challenge the status quo effectively. His life story serves as a testament to resilience and the pursuit of knowledge, making his writings resonate with urgency and significance. "Autobiographical Works" is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of American history and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. Douglass's narrative not only enlightens readers about the horrors of slavery but also inspires a profound appreciation for the moral courage required to confront systemic injustice. This work is a catalyst for dialogue and reflection, making it indispensable for scholars, students, and anyone engaged with social justice.

    "A data scientist and a ballerina meet in an ice cream queue in Rome, fall in love, date long distance and the rest is history... No, this is not the premise of a new rom-com but the start of Vitality Travel's first love story." - Vitality News 
    It sounds like a scene from a movie 
    A man meets a woman in Rome, introduced by a mutual friend. They chat while they order gelato and accidentally choose the same flavour. They laugh about it and spend the rest of the week getting to know each other. They fall hopelessly in love and a year later, they're getting married. 
    Love at first curtsy... 
    It isn't a movie, but the true story of Irakli, a South African Data Scientist, and Tamar, a Professional Ballerina.  
    Both are 29 years old and were born in Georgia in Eastern Europe. Irakli's family immigrated to South Africa in 1994 while Tamar had spent her professional career travelling around the world, performing across major stages in Italy, France, Germany, and the United States. 
    Irakli says it was a last-minute trip to visit a childhood friend. But little did he know who else he would bump into.  
    He met Tamar in a gelateria and after a ballerina curtsy, it was love at first sight.

    Imagine that Isaac Babel’s Cossacks wassail together with Runyonesque Liverpool Jews outside the plate-glass window of a Hampstead café where a Klezmer band is playing to a packed and tea-drinking congregation of jazzmen, Hasidic scholars, surrealists, old soldiers, and retired 
    strippers; and you have the tone and temperature of this unique and unclassifiable memoir – no, not memoir, more a stream-of-consciousness novella – no, not a novella but a piece of autobiographical fiction – no, not autobiography but a picaresque drama conquered from the 
    unreliable and fertile brain of the eponymous Fastovski.And who is Fastovski? Is he real or invented? Is he perhaps the alter-ego of real-life jazz pianist, Klezmer swinger, big band leader and flaneur, Wallace Fields, who stares at us from the book’s frontispiece in shades, Diaghilev coat and moustache, over a cup of strong black coffee? 
    Fastovski’s not telling and anyway, who cares.This is a book to be devoured, disseminated, denounced, and delighted in. It belongs to all who think art and life are one and that the Arch-Savant of Canterbury, Issy Bonn, Rashid the Manic Berber Chef of NW3, and Mrs Karl Popper, have an equal claim on history. I haven’t had such a good time since I shared Sir Ralph Richardson’s motorbike with a parrot and a striking grandmother clock.Piers PlowrightAugust 2008
