Long Walk to Freedom
Long Walk To Freedom highlights Nelson Mandela's early years and the 27 years he spent in jail in South Africa, making him the face of peace for numerous generations. He is one of the most outstanding personalities of our time, having won hearts all around the world, a Nobel Peace Prize, and the presidency of South Africa.
“I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite”, he writes. “Even in the grimmest times in prison, when my comrades and I were pushed to our limits, I would see a glimmer of humanity in one of the guards, perhaps just for a second, but it was enough to reassure me and keep me going. Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished”. Long Walk To Freedom is a novel that everyone should read at least once, despite its length of 700 pages.
