Books - Conversations with Myself - Nelson Mandela
The world now knows about the South African history and it is recognized all over the world because of him. Nelson Mandela and the other heroes gave up their freedom for us today to live in a democratic country. He disappeared in the ages of 44 and went to prison. For the next quarter of a century he became a mystery man, the missing leader. And when he finally emerged victorious in 1990, there was a pent-up demand to hear from him. Conversations with Myself isn't so much a book as a literary album, containing snippets of Mandela's life, shards from diaries, calendars, letters, and also transcripts from 50 hours of recordings by Richard Stengel, who ghosted Mandela's autobiography Long Walk to Freedom and is now editor of Time magazine. It also contains passages from an autobiography Mandela had been working on himself, in moments snatched here and there, but has finally abandoned, and allowed to be folded into this volume. It is precisely this cageyness that makes Conversations with Myself such a necessary book. By going to his most personal of jottings, we finally get a glimpse of the man behind the mask. Luckily, it turns out that Mandela has always been something of a collector, as well as a plentiful note-maker, though many of his notes were seized by the police over the years, so there are unavoidable holes. The book is also a valuable lens onto how Mandela made historic decisions and how he felt about communism, his Christian beliefs, the armed struggle, and the inevitable reaction by the authorities against the innocent witnesses, as well as the perpetrators. This book is absolutely an eye opener for everyone who wants to understand the man better and see his vision for the country and the world.
