This book comes with a foreword by President Barack Obama. Nelson Mandela is one of the most inspiring & iconic figures of our age. Now, after a lifetime of taking pen to paper to record thoughts & events, hardships & victories, he has opened his personal archive, which offers an unprecedented insight into his remarkable life. ” Conversations With Myself” gives readers access to the private man behind the public figure: from letters written in the darkest hours of Mandela`s twenty-seven years of imprisonment to the draft of an unfinished sequel to ” Long Walk to Freedom”. Here he is making notes & even doodling during meetings, or recording troubled dreams on the desk calendar of his cell on Robben Island; writing journals while on the run during the anti-apartheid struggles in the early 1960s, or conversing with friends in almost seventy hours of recorded conversations. In these pages, he is neither an icon nor a saint; here he is like you & me. An intimate journey from the first stirrings of his political conscience to his galvanizing role on the world stage, ” Conversations With Myself” is a rare chance to spend time with Nelson Mandela the man, in his own voice: direct, clear, private. ...

They eventually met & married, & Jo left her bourgeois upbringing behind to become part of the new Socialist future in Bratislavia. But when Oskar, a respected economist & party-member, was arrested & imprisoned, Jo was immediately stripped of her home & her job.

Convictions is Jo`s compelling memoir of that time, told without sensationalism, but with candour & wit. It is the story of an immensely courageous, resourceful young woman, a portrait of a marriage, & a tale of survival in a totalitarian state.
