"Le nouveau monde ne sera pas construit par ceux qui restent à l'écart les bras croisés, mais par ceux qui sont dans l'arène, les vêtements réduits en haillons par la tempête et le corps mutilé par les événements." Arrêté en 1962 par le gouvernement d'apartheid d'Afrique du Sud, Nelson Mandela a passé vingt-sept ans en prison - du 7 novembre 1962 au 11 février 1990. Au cours de ces 10 052 jours de détention, il fut un épistolier prolifique, écrivant des centaines de lettres aux autorités inflexibles, à ses compagnons de lutte, aux gouvernements officiels, mais aussi à sa femme Winnie, à ses cinq enfants et, plus tard, à ses petits-enfants.

The African Congress called him "South Africa's best known and loved hero", a man whose vision was plain, clear and simple: to bring about the abolition of apartheid.

This publication tells the story of the man who changed the course of a nation's history.

Arrested in 1962 as South Africa's apartheid regime intensified its brutal campaign against political opponents, 44-year-old lawyer and African National Congress activist Nelson Mandela had no idea that he would spend the next 27 years in jail. During his 10,052 days of incarceration, Mandela wrote hundreds of letters to unyielding prison authorities, fellow activists, government officials, and, most memorably, his courageous wife, Winnie, and his five children. Now, 255 of these letters, a majority of which were previously unpublished, provide the most intimate portrait of Mandela since Long Walk to Freedom.

Nelson Mandela is a figure who has been revered throughout the world. Even his enemies eventually had to admit that there was something extraordinary about Nelson Mandela; he was the kind of bold yet gracious leader who only comes once in a lifetime. Mandela led his people to freedom, became the first president of his nation, and then — like some South African George Washington — humbly stepped down from power so that he could pass the torch of democracy to others.

Nelson Mandela's legacy is known worldwide, and his life has been widely documented. His memory is preserved in statues, paintings, feature films, history books, and biographies.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. For most South Africans, Nelson Mandela is the father of their nation and many even called him “Tata”, a Xhosa word for father. It was sometimes forgotten that he was also a real father, grandfather, great-grandfather and husband. Mandela himself offered a glimpse into his personal war. “To be the father of a nation is a great honour, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy. But it was a joy I had far too little of.”

Il germe del leader era già presente in Mandela fin dall'infanzia, da quando imparò ad ascoltare prima ancora di parlare, a osservare prima ancora di fare, ad agire e non esitare, a cadere e rialzarsi. In questo ritratto ripercorreremo i momenti più importanti della vita di Nelson Mandela, dall'infanzia nel villaggio paterno fino agli studi, dall'ingresso in politica alla prigionia fino all'elezione come primo presidente nero del Sudafrica.

In the case of some historical figures, a single event or small span of years is sufficient for understanding the timeliness and extent of their impact upon the world.
