Conversations with MyselfRead about another book on the list.
"Conversations with Myself" is a personal archive that draws on letters, notebooks, taped conversations, and prison diaries to take a thorough look at all aspects of Mandela's life. Readers will find much here that is inspiring, including lines like: "[T]he knowledge that in your day you did your duty and lived up to the expectations of your fellow man is in itself a reward."
Conversations with Myself made Alexandra Fuller's top ten list of African memoirs and Martin E. Marty's five best list of books on the theme of prison writing.
