Solomon Northup, né en juillet 1808 à Minerva, dans le Comté d'Essex dans l'État de New York et mort à une date inconnue après 1857, est un mulâtre afro-américain né libre et enlevé puis réduit en esclavage entre 1841 et 1853. Devenu abolitionniste, il publie des mémoires, Douze ans d'esclavage, qui deviennent un best-seller et contribuent au débat sur l'abolition de l'esclavage. Devenu militant pour l'abolitionnisme, il disparait dans des circonstances inconnues quelques années après avoir retrouvé sa condition d'homme libre.

Résumé
Born into "the blessings of liberty in a free State, " Solomon Northup was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Bayou Boeuf region of Louisiana's Red River Valley. Twelve Years a Slave is the chronicle of his captivity at the mercy of sadistic plantation owner Edwin Epps, who tested Northup's tenacity and self-control under the most brutal conditions. Until fate brought a Canadian abolitionist to Epps's farm, Northup thought he would never draw another free breath.
To this day Northup's harrowing memoir is recognized as the most reliable, accurate eyewitness account of the daily lives of slaves.
As a significant historical reference, it is unsurpassed. As an authentic narrative of a man starved of his freedom, it is unforgettable.
