[Nelson Mandela] has done so much to change his country  and the world  that it is hard to
imagine the history of the last several decades without him. -from the foreword by President
Barack Obama Foreword by President Barack Obama Nelson Mandela is one of the most inspiring and
iconic figures of our age. Now  after a lifetime of recording thoughts and events  hardships
and victories  he has opened his personal archive  which offers unprecedented insight into his
remarkable autobiography. From letters written in the darkest hours of his twenty-seven years
of imprisonment to the draft of an unfinished sequel to Long Walk to Freedom  Conversations
with Myself gives readers access to the private man behind the public figure. Here he is making
notes and even doodling during meetings  or transcribing troubled dreams on the desk calendar
in his prison cell on Robben Island  writing journals while on the run during the
anti-apartheid struggle in the early 1960s  and conversing with friends in almost seventy hours
of recorded conversations. Here he is neither icon nor saint. An intimate journey from the
first stirrings of political consciousness to his galvanizing role on the world stage 
Conversations with Myself is a rare chance to spend time with Nelson Mandela the man  in his
own voice: direct  clear  private.
