Sinossi

My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion of his first, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. The book depicts in greater detail his transition from bondage to liberty. Following this liberation, Douglass went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker, author, and advocate for women's rights.


Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, 1817 or 1818 – February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. He became the most important leader of the movement for African-American civil rights in the 19th century.

    Racing Against Time is the inspiring true story of Jeff Weiss's incredible transformation in midlife. At 48 years old, out of shape and searching for new purpose, Weiss took on his first 10K-an event that would spark a profound personal evolution. What began as a simple challenge soon turned into an extraordinary journey of endurance, perseverance, and self-discovery. Within a decade, he pushed beyond perceived limits, becoming an Ironman and ultramarathoner, proving that age is no barrier to strength and ambition. 
    Kirkus calls Racing Against Time: “An engaging and reflective life journey that captures the grit, grace, and quiet triumphs of endurance sports.”  It compares Racing Against Time to one of the great running books of recent years: “The memoir’s honest reflections on physical challenges and mental resilience resonate alongside classics like Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, blending the physical demands of sport with introspective growth.”   
    “If you’re looking for inspiration and motivation, Racing Against Time will get you going!” 
    New York Times Bestselling Author and legendary ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes 
    “Part memoir and all inspiration, Racing Against Time has it all: family, life, midlife transformation, tragedy with triumph, and, thankfully, a whole lot of UltraRunning.  I’m stoked about another book from Jeff, and I think you will be too.”   
    Travis Macy, author of The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion’s 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life. 
    “Weiss’s story illustrates the power and joy of mid-life transformation.”   
    Chip Conley, bestselling author of Learning to Love Midlife and Founder, Modern Elder Academy

    The book follows these two Boston boys from army training through deployment to the war zone and the shock of first combat missions, to helicopter air assault "Search and Destroy" operations from the Cambodian border to the sands of the South China Sea.
