Publisher's noteThe fantastic, heroic life of Nelson Mandela, brought to life in this landmark graphic work. Nelson Mandela's memoir, Long Road to Freedom, electrified the world in 1994 with the story of a solitary man who, despite unbelievable hardships, brought down one of the most-despised regimes in the world. Fifteen years after the publication of that classic work comes this fully authorized graphic biography, which relays in picture form the life story of the world's greatest moral and political hero-from his boyhood in a small South African village to his growing political activism with the ANC, his twenty-seven-year incarceration as prisoner 46664 on Robbens Island, his dramatic release, and his triumphant years as president of South Africa. With new interviews, firsthand accounts, and archival material that has only recently been uncovered, this visually dramatic biography promises to introduce Mandela's gripping story to a whole new generation of readers. An authorized interpretation of the civil rights leader and South African president's classic work, presented in the style of a graphic tale, is a visual presentation of his small-village boyhood, growing activism with the African National Congress, prolonged imprisonment, and triumphant presidency. Original. AnnotationThis authorized biography in graphic-novel format tells the astounding story of a real-life hero. Nelson Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918 into a clan of herdsmen. From there he would go on to become one of the region's most influential anti-apartheid activists, working within the system and from its fringes. His efforts to gain equal rights for black South Africans led to his arrest and conviction for sabotage, for which he served 27 years in prison. Rather than giving up, however, he maintained his work from within and emerged stronger than ever: going on to become the first democratically elected president of his country, to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and to become a deeply respected elder statesman. This vibrant comic book rendering of his life uses the work of a team of artists and storytellers, their collaborative efforts producing an informative and compelling work that will appeal to young and grown readers alike.
