"[These] archives contain traces of my life and those who have lived it with me. Anyone who has explored the world of archives will know that it is a treasure house, one that is full of surprises, crossing paths, dead ends, painful reminders and unanswered questions." Nelson R. Mandela Nelson Mandela has written almost every day of his long life (he's now 91 years old): notebooks, jottings, drafts of letters to heads of state; and perhaps most movingly of all, letters from his long imprisonment on Robben Island, most of which, tragically, were never passed on to their recipients. Conversations with Myself is a very personal booka book of private thoughts and lessons learned; but, as we have come to expect from the great man, the sense of hope and gentle wisdom that shines from these letters and diaries make this a book for everyonea chance to share Mandela's recollections of a long life, fully lived. From the Hardcover edition.

I found this audiobook fascinating because it gave me a much richer and more complex picture of Nelson Mandela. He is a truly wise man. Through his writings you really get to see him as the complex and fallible human being that he is. He is a man of strong beliefs and strong ethics.

Insightful, inspiring, beautiful. I wish I had read A Long Walk to Freedom first, but I will be reading it very soon. The narrator was sometimes hard to understand, but gave it an authenticity that would have been missing with an American accent. Since reading Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, I have been wanting to know more about the Apartheid era. This was an fascinating read.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I love the Litsy app and community. It is so refreshing to be able to join discussions about books as well as various things going on in our world! I've connected with people I never could have any other way. It makes me so happy to scroll through and read that I'm not even upset that I'm constantly adding to my TBR! Hahaha! Thanks for the welcome!
