Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First edition thus. Large quarto. A chance to own a magnificent association copy of the illustrated version of Mandela's autobiography, which includes a delightful tribute to his friend - the late Theodore 'Teddy' Forstmann - written in Mandela's hand on its title page: 'Best wishes to a highly motivated public figure. As long as there are men and women like you the heavens will never collapse on us.' Teddy Forstmann (February 1940 - November 2011) was a colourful character and one of America's richest men, a billionaire with far-reaching contacts who counted - as well as Nelson Mandela - such figures as Princess Diana, Bill Clinton and Mark Zuckerburg among his many celebrity friends. But 'his most lasting legacy will be the hundreds of millions of dollars he donated to charitable causes' (The Guardian), and there is no doubt that Forstmann was a committed philanthropist. The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund was one of the numerous charities that benefitted from his philosophy, as he served as a trustee and donated at least $1m to the cause. The book itself is in fine condition throughout and is now housed in a beautiful, custom-made clamshell box, with velvet lining and 1/4 morocco and gilt lettering. This is a unique item, and - albeit in our biased opinion! - one of the most exciting Mandela books on the market. Please note: we have been dealing with carefully sourced Mandela items for well over a decade and we guarantee that all our stock is authentic. Inscribed by Author(s).

Ninth printing of the British edition. Inscribed by Mandela to the half title page: "To Margaret Best Wishes N. Mandela 10.5.95". An auspicious date, marking the anniversary of his inauguration as South Africa's first black President in 1994. Additionally inscribed in May 1996 by Mandela's close friend and ally, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Mandela spent his first night of freedom after his release from prison in 1990 at Tutu's house. Writing about the event: "When I greeted Archbishop Tutu, I enveloped him in a great hug; here was a man who had inspired an entire nation with his words and courage, who had revived the people's hope during the darkest of times." [The Long Walk to Freedom, page 556]. And loosely inserted is an extraordinary piece of paper, inscribed by ANC and SACP leaders, Chris Hani and Winnie Mandela, on one side: "C. Hani General Secretary SACP Cape Town 21-02-92", and on the other: "Best Wishes for a free and democratic South Africa Love Always!! Winnie Mandela 21/1/92". Hani was assassinated in April 1993, his death becoming one of the catalysts for the negotiation of democratic elections in 1994, and an important event in helping to establish Nelson Mandela as a presidential figure with the speech he gave appealing for calm in the days after the assassination. The book is firmly bound in slightly marked black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, it is bumped at the extremities. The text block is slightly toned, marked and dusty with minor spots of foxing, pleasingly showing clear signs of having been well read, rather than being a book purchased purely as a repository for autographs. The dust jacket continues the theme of use and is well worn, toned, slightly marked and rubbed, with a few chips and short closed tears to the edges, which have been enthusiastically repaired to the reverse with strips of laminate. Who Margaret was is sadly lost to history, but whoever she was she put together a remarkable collection of inscriptions by some of the most important leaders in the struggle against the apartheid regime in South Africa.

Hardcover. First edition. This presentation copy of the South African first edition of Nelson Mandela s autobiography was inscribed and dated by him during his presidency. Mandela began writing what would become Long Walk to Freedom clandestinely in prison in 1974. It was published in 1994, the same year that Mandela became President of South Africa. The five-line inscription on the half title reads: "To Barry Pecher, | Compliments | & | best wishes | Mandela | 28.3.95". The date is exactly a year and a day after Mandela voted for the first time in his life - in the same election that made him leader of his nation.Condition is very good in a very good dust jacket. The black cloth binding is square, tight, and clean with sharp corners bright spine gilt, and minor shelf wear to extremities. The contents are bright with a crisp feel. Light spotting appears confined to the rear endpaper and page edges, which also show light soiling. The upper right front free endpaper a map of South Africa shows abrasion, likely from erasure of a previous owner name or bookseller notation. On the half title, above the printed title, several lines of ink have had White-Out correction fluid applied, ostensibly to obscure an inked previous owner name or notation. The White-Out is above the printed title, while Mandela s presentation inscription is below and entirely unaffected. The dust jacket, featuring portraits of Mandela on the front and rear faces and the South African flag on the spine, is bright and complete, though with light wear to extremities. The jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) was born Rolihlahla Mandela in the tiny village of Mvezo in the Eastern Cape. It was in primary school that he was given the "English" name Nelson. He managed to secure his bachelors degree only after first being expelled for joining a student protest. Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944, four years before Apartheid was adopted as a formal policy by the South African government after the 1948 general election victory of the National Party (NP). Mandela helped form the ANC Youth League. Rising through the ranks, in 1952 he both co-founded South Africa s first black law firm and began to accrue official charges by the government. As a result of government restrictions placed upon him, Mandela could not openly attend adoption of the Freedom Charter in 1955. Neither Mandela nor the NP could know that the government s persecution of Mandela would play a large role in the principles of the Freedom Charter being realized and in Mandela s own political preeminence.Mandela continued to accrue arrests, trials, and acquittals while the ANC was formally banned. By late 1961 Mandela had resorted to preparing for armed struggle, undertaking leadership of Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation. Facing the death penalty on trial for sabotage, in 1964 Mandela delivered his famous On the Docks speech. During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. Less than months after he spoke these resonating words, Mandela and co-conspirators were was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Apartheid applied even to imprisonment. Nelson s sole white co-conspirator was sent to Pretoria Prison while Mandela and his black co-conspirators were sent to Robben Island.The NP s attempt to silence Mandela only increased his celebrity and legitimacy. Mandela was finally released in February 1990 by then-president of South Africa de Klerk. Mandela was integral to negotiations to end white minority rule; he and de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
