A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Through a special collaboration with 'The New York Times', Kingfisher publishes in-depth narrative non-fiction for young readers. Gripping first-person narratives, written by veteran NYT journalists, bring history and current events to life. Full-colour illustrations, photographs and sidebars explain key concepts, and historical articles from the archives of the NYT place events in a global context.In February 1994, Nelson Mandela visited Robben Island, a desolate rock where he had been a prisoner for 27 years. Days later, his ideals would triumph in an election that changed the climate of oppression in South Africa. This inspiring biography looks at the events that led him from his tribal homeland to the centre of the struggle for racial equality in South Africa.

Présentation de l'éditeur

He was a child of royalty, born and raised to defend tradition. But his African name - Rolihlahla, meaning 'tree shaker' - hinted at a very different future. Nelson Mandela would spend most of his life shaking his country to its roots.

This newly updated edition of New York Times veteran Bill Keller's moving biography looks back on Mandela's life, offering a clear-eyed view of his legacy and bringing his remarkable story to a new generation of readers.
