CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF - NELSON MANDELA KART...

"[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.
