Nelson Mandela Knihy

Tuto strhující autobiografii prvního černošského prezidenta Jihoafrické republiky, bojovníka proti rasové segregaci a držitele Nobelovy ceny míru Nelsona Mandely, zachycující období od jeho narození v roce 1918 až po první všerasové volby roku 1994, lze současně číst jako poutavé dějiny jihoafrického osvobozeneckého hnutí i celé moderní Jižní Afriky. Přestože kvůli svým názorům strávil celkem dvacet sedm let ve vězení a boji za svobodu byl nucen obětovat veškerý osobní život, Mandela vůči svým bílým utiskovatelům nezahořkl, nikdy neopustil myšlenku mezirasového smíru a zasadil se o pokojný přechod k vládě černošské většiny. Jeho vyprávění se čte jako detektivní román, vyznačuje se velkou otevřeností, nepostrádá smysl pro humor, paradox a ironii.

From his birth in a village on the banks of the Mbashe River in the Transkei to his politicisation and development as a freedom fighter, this first volume of Nelson Mandela's classic autobiography charts the early years of his life, which culminated in his prison sentence in 1962. Emotive, compelling and uplifting, Long Walk to Freedom: Volume 1 tells the beginnings of the story of an epic life, a story of hardship, resilience and ultimate triumph conveyed with the clarity and eloquence of the outstanding moral and political leader of the twentieth century.

The Triumph of Hope is part 2 of this two-volume edition of the best-selling autobiography by one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century
