EDITORIAL REVIEW - New Release 2010
"Nelson Mandela is widely considered to be one of the most inspiring and
iconic figures of our age. Now, after a lifetime of taking pen to paper to
record thoughts and events, hardships and victories, he has bestowed his
entire extant personal papers, which offer an unprecedented insight into his
remarkable life.
A singular international publishing event, "Conversations with Myself"
draws on Mandela’s personal archive of never-before-seen materials to offer
unique access to the private world of an incomparable world leader. Journals
kept on the run during the anti-apartheid struggle of the early 1960s; diaries
and draft letters written in Robben Island and other South African prisons
during his twenty-seven years of incarceration; notebooks from the
postapartheid transition; private recorded conversations; speeches and
correspondence written during his presidency—a historic collection of
documents archived at the Nelson Mandela Foundation is brought together into a
sweeping narrative of great immediacy and stunning power.
An intimate journey from Mandela’s first stirrings of political
consciousness to his galvanizing role on the world stage, Conversations with
Myself illuminates a heroic life forged on the front lines of the struggle for
freedom and justice. While other books have recounted Mandela’s life from the
vantage of the present, "Conversations with Myself" allows, for the first
time, unhindered insight into the human side of this icon."
