Long Walk to Freedom

The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

De: Nelson Mandela, Sharon Gelman

Narrado por: Michael Boatman

The autobiography of global human rights icon Nelson Mandela is "riveting . . . both a brilliant description of a diabolical system and a testament to the power of the spirit to transcend it" (Washington Post).Nelson Mandela was one of the great moral and political leaders of his time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. After his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela was at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is still revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.

Long Walk to Freedom is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela told the extraordinary story of his life -- an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.
The book that inspired the major motion picture Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

"Irresistible...One of the few political autobiographies that's also a page-turner."—Los Angeles Times Book Review

Extraordinary HIStory

I had to listen consistently and with eagerness as I traverse Mandela's journey and vision for Africa. Great work in putting this together. My children and children will have a story to give them hope and inspiration.

An unbelievable Quest for Justice

I loved this book of Mandela and his Quest for Justice for the South African people and all
And how he sacrificed his life for equality to the blacks ‼️

Absolutely Inspiring

A fantastic, inspiring story - and one of the best narrations I have ever heard.

Words Cannot Express

I was captivated from the beginning to the end. This is a book that everyone should read as it gracefully expresses what repression and humanity look like. It also shows that differences do not need to destroy but through grace, forgiveness, and collaboration unity is possible.

Wow. Mr. Mandela was a fighter!

Just blown away by his persistence and his ability to fight for what he stood for against unbelievable odds.
