I've had a lot of time to kick back and read here at my brother's house; and one of the books I brought with me to read is this one. Now with books like this, I don't read them from front to back; as there's no real storyline or plot. These books are just quotes of a famed person at different times in their lives. However, normally, these books are done up by a second party - a biographer or family member - who's been there right from the beginning. With this wonderful little book, Nelson Mandela has pulled together his quotes over his whole lifetime himself. And what a book it is!
I have admired Nelson Mandela since I was in high school and the whole world was fighting Apartheid in South Africa; and this great man was in prison for something he said and did. Once he was let out, and I found out exactly who he was I followed his life. I have tracked down a couple of his books down at bookstores (and have yet to read them; but at least I have them on hand when I want to get into them). But when I found this one, I knew I just had to have it as it was purely about him, by him; and that's something wonderful as it speaks volumes about how much he has influenced people and the globe and history as we know it when we see what a single, important person has said over their whole lifetime that has changed the way the world works. Until my next post, happy reading.
