Читать книгу The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano - Olaudah Equiano - Страница 17

 This edition is based on the text of the first edition, published by Equiano himself in London in 1789. The edition includes Equiano's own footnotes, and the original two-volume structure of the work has been preserved. We have retained his original spellings for the most part.

 Explanatory notes appear at the end to help readers decode some of Equiano's references, including names of places or peoples that have since changed. However, many places he refers to (e.g. ‘Barbadoes’) are self-explanatory.

 Equiano published a number of later editions of the book, but his alterations were of a minor nature. The Interesting Narrative was also published in Dutch, German, and Russian.
