The Life of William Wilberforce

di Webster Michael (Autore)

Michael Webster, 2025

In the late 18th century, Britain's immense wealth was fueled by the brutal commerce of the slave trade. It was a business defended by the most powerful men in the empire, and a practice most of society chose to ignore. But one man dared to challenge it. This is the story of William Wilberforce, a brilliant and charming young politician whose profound spiritual awakening led him to a single, impossible goal: to abolish the Atlantic slave trade and reform his nation's conscience. For decades, he stood against the full force of a powerful and entrenched opposition, facing heartbreaking defeats, personal attacks, and a world that saw his cause as nothing more than a dangerous distraction. The Life of William Wilberforce is more than a history of a great political victory. It is an intimate portrait of a deeply complex man, exploring his faith, his personal struggles, and the indomitable spirit that sustained him. It is a powerful and timeless narrative of one man's unwavering conviction, and the profound lessons his life holds for us today. Approx.165 pages, 34500 word count
