Paperback. Zustand: Good. Widely considered to be the most important biography of Nelson Mandela, Antony Sampson?s remarkable book has been updated with an afterword by acclaimed South African journalist, John Battersby. Long after his presidency of South Africa, Nelson Mandela remained an inspirational figure to millions ? both in his homeland and far beyond. He has been, without doubt, one of the most important figures in global history. His death, on 5 December 2013 at the age of 95, resonated around the world. Mandela?s opposition to apartheid and his 27 year incarceration at the hands of South Africa?s all-white regime are familiar to most. In this utterly compelling book, eminent biographer Anthony Sampson draws on a fifty year-long relationship to reveal the man who rocked a continent ? and changed its future. With unprecedented access to the former South African president ? the letters he wrote in prison, his unpublished jail autobiography, extensive conversations, and interviews with hundreds of colleagues, friends, and family ? Sampson depicts the realities of Mandela?s private and public life, and the tragic tension between them. Updated after Sampson?s death with a new afterword by distinguished South African journalist John Battersby, this is the ultimate biography of one of the twentieth century?s greatest statesmen.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Nelson Mandela, who emerged from twenty-six years of political imprisonment to lead South Africa out of apartheid and into democracy, is perhaps the world's most admired leader, a man whose life has been led with exemplary courage and inspired conviction. Now Anthony Sampson, who has known Mandela since 1951 and has been a close observer of South Africa's political life for the last fifty years, has produced the first authorized biography, the most informed and comprehensive portrait to date of a man whose dazzling image has been difficult to penetrate.

W. de Klerk, and many others intimately connected to Mandela's story--Sampson has composed an enlightening and necessary story of the man behind the myth.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This anthology of quotations is a selection of reflections about each year of life by a wide range of authors, including American and Continental writers, though without trying to do justice to Oriental concepts of ageing and wisdom which reflect a different philosophical perspective. The quotations have been chosen with the aim to balance pessimism and optimism, average and exeptional achievements and late and premature ageing. From the age of eighty upwards, the material is obviously more restricted and concentrates on exceptional old people such as Bernard Berenson or Bernard Shaw. The quotations are taken from diaries, letters, biographies and autobiographies from contributors such as Cicero, Ogden Nash, Mozart, Picasso, Goethe, Churchill, Charlotte Bronte and Gertrude Stein.…
