«Long Walk to Freedom» is the abridged version of Nelson Mandela's autobiography, published by Nolwazi in paperback (160 pages, in English).
The book traces Mandela's life from his childhood in South Africa, his activism against apartheid and the long years of imprisonment, to his release and his role in the country's transition. This abridged edition condenses that journey and retains Mandela's own first-person narration.
The original work was published in 1994 and received the Alan Paton Award in 1995. This abridged «Birthday Edition» in English appeared in 2007 in paperback.
Suitable for those seeking a first introduction to Mandela's life or a shorter read than the complete autobiography.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid activist, statesman, and revolutionary who was the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first Black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His administration focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by fostering racial reconciliation, a national peace accord and eventual multiracial democracy. Ideologically an African nationalist and socialist, he served as the president of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997.
