The narrative is argued to be a variety of styles, such as a slavery narrative, travel narrative, and spiritual narrative. The book describes Equiano's time spent in enslavement, and documents his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his own freedom and in business thereafter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the first widely read slave narratives. Eight editions were printed during the author's lifetime, and it was translated into Dutch and German. The structure and rhetorical strategies of the book were influential and created a model for subsequent slave narratives.The different kinds of aspects and ideas in his narrative, such as travel, religion, and slavery, cause some readers to debate what kind of narrative his writing is: a slavery narrative, a spiritual narrative, or a travel narrative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The work has proven so influential in the study of African and African American literature, that it is frequently taught in both English literature and History classrooms in universities.
