Long walk to freedom 

The spellbinding memoirs of the exceptional moral and political leader of our time, Long Walk to Freedom intensely recounts the spectacle of the experiences that facilitated the shaping up Nelson Mandela's destiny. Nelson Mandela became the democratically elected, first black president of South Africa in 1994. This poignant, absorbing and inspiring autobiography is the story of an epic life, a story of suffering, resilience and decisive triumph told with the simplicity and eloquence of a born leader. It burns with the luminosity of belief in the unconquerable nature of human hope and dignity. Mandela is counted among the few great political leaders like Lincoln and Gandhi, who, for the sake of the humanity, went beyond the mere consensus and walked ahead of their followers to break new ground, and break walls and supplant them with the message of humanity, hope, freedom and love.
