      Every life has the power to change the world. Ndaba Mandela was raised by his grandfather, Nelson Mandela. It is easy to forget that legendary figures like Mandela were first and foremost human beings, flawed and unique, but in Ndaba's account we have a rare and personal insight into the man behind the myth. In 11 Life Lessons, Ndaba shares with us his memories - charming, intimate and sometimes surprising - to illuminate Mandela's much-loved principles for how to become the people we want to be. Always call out injustice - even when we see it in ourselves Freedom must be given as much as it is taken Strive to do what is right rather than to prove you are right Anger has its place, even in a kind heart Inspired by Mandela's remarkable stories, 11 Life Lessons from Nelson Mandela offers a profound and rewarding pathway to changing your world. __________________________ Previously published as 'Going to the Mountain'

      The second volume of Nelson Mandela’s memoirs, left unfinished at his death, is now completed and expanded with notes and speeches from his presidency, serving as a poignant sequel to his acclaimed first volume. Mandela reflects on his journey, stating, “I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” In 1994, he became South Africa's first democratic president, and by 1999, he had stepped down, having led an extraordinary transformation from a nation divided by colonialism and apartheid to one where all citizens, regardless of race, were equal under the law. This narrative draws from Mandela’s unfinished draft and detailed notes taken during his presidency, as well as previously unseen archival material. The acclaimed South African author Mandla Langa has meticulously completed this work, providing a vivid and inspirational account of Mandela’s leadership during a pivotal time in history. The memoir captures the challenges he faced and the realization of his vision for a liberated South Africa, emphasizing the responsibilities that come with freedom and the ongoing journey toward equality and justice.

      Tuto strhující autobiografii prvního černošského prezidenta Jihoafrické republiky, bojovníka proti rasové segregaci a držitele Nobelovy ceny míru Nelsona Mandely, zachycující období od jeho narození v roce 1918 až po první všerasové volby roku 1994, lze současně číst jako poutavé dějiny jihoafrického osvobozeneckého hnutí i celé moderní Jižní Afriky. Přestože kvůli svým názorům strávil celkem dvacet sedm let ve vězení a boji za svobodu byl nucen obětovat veškerý osobní život, Mandela vůči svým bílým utiskovatelům nezahořkl, nikdy neopustil myšlenku mezirasového smíru a zasadil se o pokojný přechod k vládě černošské většiny. Jeho vyprávění se čte jako detektivní román, vyznačuje se velkou otevřeností, nepostrádá smysl pro humor, paradox a ironii.

      The Strong Mind of Robben Island Prisoner, No. 468/64

      In the Robben Island prison register, Nelson Mandela was famously recorded as prisoner number 466/64. Number 468/64 was Ahmed Kathrada. Sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 in the infamous Rivonia Trial, Ahmed Kathrada spent twenty-six continuous years in jail for his political beliefs. During his incarceration, he secretly jotted down quotations, proverbs, aphorisms, poetry and drama extracts, and passages from books, magazines and newspapers. On Robben Island, these quotations were like familiar friends. They helped steel the soul within the stolen body -- the authorities might control that body but they could not lock up the mind.
