An unforgettable true story.
'12 Years a Slave' is not fiction, not exaggeration—just one man’s fight for survival and freedom.
This special edition of Solomon Northup’s memoir honours both the original voice and the timeless revival brought to the world through Steve McQueen’s Academy Award–winning film 12 Years a Slave.
From a free-born man in New York, to twelve harrowing years of enslavement in Louisiana, and finally to the long-awaited day of freedom in 1853—Northup’s story continues to inspire, educate, and move generations across the globe.
A tale of resilience, injustice, and ultimate liberation that must never be forgotten.
