" Nelson Mandela] has done so much to change his country, and the
world, that it is hard to imagine the history of the last several
decades without him." --from the foreword by President Barack Obama
Foreword by President Barack Obama
Nelson Mandela is one of the most inspiring and iconic figures of
our age. Now, after a lifetime of recording thoughts and events,
hardships and victories, he has opened his personal archive, which
offers unprecedented insight into his remarkable autobiography.
From letters written in the darkest hours of his twenty-seven
years of imprisonment to the draft of an unfinished sequel to "Long
Walk to Freedom, Conversations with Myself "gives readers access to
the private man behind the public figure. Here he is making notes
and even doodling during meetings, or transcribing troubled dreams
on the desk calendar in his prison cell on Robben Island; writing
journals while on the run during the anti-apartheid struggle in the
early 1960s, and conversing with friends in almost seventy hours of
recorded conversations. Here he is neither icon nor saint.
An intimate journey from the first stirrings of political
consciousness to his""galvanizing role on the world stage,
"Conversations with Myself "is a rare chance to spend time with
Nelson Mandela the man, in his own voice: direct, clear,
private.
