Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper - Autobiographical Account of American Slave

Moses Roper

Sinopsis

Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper provides a compelling firsthand narrative of the harrowing experiences of Moses Roper during his enslavement in North Carolina and Florida. This influential account not only details the physical and emotional torment Roper endured but also sheds light on the broader atrocities of American slavery. Roper's story unfolds as a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Despite enduring repeated torture and abuse—punishments inflicted upon him after each of his numerous escape attempts—Roper's determination never wavered. His escape, finally achieved after several attempts, becomes a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of systemic oppression. Roper's narrative serves as a stark portrayal of the brutality faced by enslaved individuals, exposing the harsh realities of their daily lives. The book not only recounts the specific horrors Roper witnessed but also includes visual representations of the torture he endured. Through this autobiographical account, Moses Roper becomes a poignant voice against the dehumanizing effects of slavery. His narrative stands as both a personal testimony of suffering and a rallying cry for the abolitionist movement.

How I Changed The World: In My...

Galeeb Kachra

"Galeeb Kachra truly is one of a kind. A unique combination of optimism, can-do determination and relentless energy, he has the wiliness and moral integrity required to shake up sclerotic systems and sweep away logjams. His detailed account of five projects that mattered intensely to him, which did their little bit to make the world a better place, is sprinkled with humour and charmingly idiosyncratic, while packed with serious intent."  
-- Michela Wrong, March 2021, author of "It's Our Turn to Eat: the Story of a Kenyan Whistleblower." 
From the author: 
Do you want to help achieve change, but don't know how? Other books don't give you practical examples that are within your own reach. This book showcases real cases, based on Galeeb's international experience. It covers disaster preparedness, anticorruption, youth empowerment, judicial reform, book bans, and procurement reform. Be motivated to find a way of helping others whatever your specific interests and technical skills.

There Are Worse Things I Could Do

Adrienne Barbeau

Adrienne Barbeau never set out to be a sex symbol and she never planned on giving birth to twins when she was 51 but both those stories and a lot more are detailed in this witty, revealing memoir. 
From her early years as one of the first Go-Go girls in New York (“No one said Mafia out loud in those days. There was always the fear you wouldn’t live to say anything else.”) to starring on Broadway in Grease (“Alexander Cohen swore the only way we’d win a Tony was over his dead body”) Adrienne tells tales about her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape From New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Creepshow), and her singing career (“Doc Severinson and the band had been in the audience during my nude foray off-Broadway in Stag Movie”).  With humour and fearlessness, she shares her romance with a superstar, her marriage to a famous film director, her marriage to a much younger man and her successful battle with infertility.
