Reseña del editor:

'But why should I yearn so much for you? There are times when my heart almost stops beating, slowed down by heavy longing. I miss you...' Nelson Mandela in an unpublished letter written while in prison.

This magnificent book, published in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, reveals for the first time the intimate details of Nelson Mandela's life in prison. Between the covers of this handsome, full-colour book you will catch glimpses of Mandela's notebooks, his diaries and personal correspondence. Including many previously unpublished photographs.

Biografía del autor:

Nelson Mandela is probably the most universally admired figure of our age. Born in Transkei, South Africa in 1918, Mandela later became involved in the struggle to end apartheid as a result of which he was imprisoned for 27 years. In the late 1980s, Mandela secretly negotiated his own release and the nation's transition from apartheid to democracy. In 1994 he became South Africa's first democratically elected President. Nelson Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
