International bestseller.
Nelson Mandela"s autobiography is an outstanding person, an international hero, one of the greatest moral and political authorities of our time. The inspiring epic story of life, told with the clarity and eloquence of the born leader.
These memoirs, begun in 1974 in the Robben Island prison were completed by Nelson Mandelia after 27 years of imprisonment, shortly after his triumphant release in 1990. Perhaps the main merit of Nelson Mandela is the transition without a civil war and with minimal human victims to the democratic form of the state. He personifies for millions of people the triumph of dignity and hope over despair and hatred, self -discipline and love over persecution and shame. An outstanding life dedicated to the struggle against racial and political oppression brought Nelson Mandela the Nobel Prize of the world and ascended to the post of president of the country.
This is more than an autobiography. This is a chronicle of the life of a unique person who overcame many personal, clan and party prejudices and conducted a tireless struggle for freedom even after arrest, isolation and imprisonment. This is the story of a public figure and a fighter who was able to avoid a trap of “noble anger” and hatred of opponents to become a peacekeeper, unification of the nation and a recognized world leader. In addition to its historical significance, this book is an exciting, detailed and based document on the development of personality in conditions of pressure and threats, before which most people would surrender both internally and outwardly.
