Straightforward and with no literary pretensions, her voice comes down the centuries, robust, clear, personal and often surprising: \"I do not complain at having been so far across the world, nor of my twelve years of slavery, nor of the suffering the Turks caused me, I can rise above that. But the spitefulness and derision that my husband and I suffered from our fellow-countrymen cannot be forgotten, and is impossible for me to set it down here in writing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 24, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212385542451,"sku":"9781843822172","price":41.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/pe-6YRpvhf9781843822172.webp?v=1775772415","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/curious-and-amazing-adventures-of-maria-ter-meetelen-twelve-years-a-slave-the-1731-43-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
