Krátky popis
Arrested in 1962 as South Africa's apartheid regime intensified its
brutal campaign against political opponents, forty-four-year-old
lawyer and African National Congress activist Nelson Mandela had no
idea that he would spend the next twenty-seven years in jail.
During his 10,052 days of incarceration, Mandela wrote hundreds of
letters to unyielding prison authorities, fellow activists,
government officials, and most memorably, to his wife Winnie and
his five children. Now, 255 of these letters, the majority of which
were previously unseen, provide the most intimate portrait of
Mandela since Long Walk to Freedom.Painstakingly researched,
authenticated and catalogued by the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the
letters have been drawn from the Foundation's archive as well as
from public and private collections held by the Mandela family and
South African government archives. Mandela's letters are organised
chronologically and divided by the four prisons in which he was
incarcerated. Each section opens with a short introduction to
provide a historical overview of each of these periods and the
collection features a foreword by Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela.Whether
writing about the death of his son Thembi after a request to attend
the funeral was ignored, providing unwavering support to his
also-imprisoned wife or outlining a human-rights philosophy that
resonates today, The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela reveals the
heroism of a man who refused to compromise his moral values in the
face of extraordinary human punishment. Ultimately, they confirm
Mandela's position among the most inspiring historical figures of
the twentieth century.
