‘I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest . . . But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.’ Long Walk to FreedomIn 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later, he stood down. In that time, he and his government wrought the most extraordinary transformation, turning a nation riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy in which all South Africa’s citizens, black and white, were equal before the law. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela’s presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to finish his term of office, but was unable to finish. Now, the acclaimed South African writer, Mandla Langa, has completed the task using Mandela’s unfinished draft and a wealth of previously unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela's widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and inspirational account that tells the extraordinary story of the transition from decades of apartheid rule and the challenges Mandela overcame to make a reality of his cherished vision for a liberated South Africa.

‘I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.’ Long Walk to FreedomIn 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later, he stood down.

Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela’s presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to finish his term of office, but was unable to finish. Now, the acclaimed South African writer Mandla Langa has completed the task using Mandela’s unfinished draft, detailed notes that Mandela made as events were unfolding and a wealth of previously unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela's widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and inspirational account of Mandela’s presidency, a country in flux and the creation of a new democracy. It tells the extraordinary story of the transition from decades of apartheid rule and the challenges Mandela overcame to make a reality of his cherished vision for a liberated South Africa.

Jag har upptäckt hemligheten att när man har bestigit ett högt berg så är det bara för att upptäcka att det finns många er berg att bestiga. Nu har jag satt mig här en stund att vila, och se tillbaka på den långa väg jag gått. Men jag kan bara vila ett ögonblick för med friheten följer ansvar, och jag vågar inte dröja mig kvar, för min långa vandring är ännu inte slut.

Nelson Mandela i Den långa vägen till frihet

År 1994 blev Nelson Mandela det demokratiska Sydafrikas första president. Han bestämde sig redan från början för att bara sitta en mandatperiod. Under hans tid som president blev alla Sydafrikas medborgare lika inför lagen, och grunden lades för att omvandla Sydafrika till en fullt fungerande demokrati, från att ha varit ett land sönderslitet av århundraden av kolonialism och apartheid.

Fortsätt framåt är berättelsen om Mandelas år som Sydafrikas president. Boken bygger på det memoarutkast han påbörjade när han förberedde sig för att lämna presidentposten, men aldrig fick tillfälle att slutföra. Nu har den hyllade syd afrikanska författaren Mandla Langa slutfört uppdraget med hjälp av Mandelas ursprungliga utkast, detaljerade anteckningar som Mandela förde under händelsernas gång, och en stor mängd tidigare okänt arkivmaterial.

Boken är en livfull, ärlig och inspirerande skildring av Mandelas presidentperiod och den nya demokratins födelse. Den berättar den enastående historien om ett land i omvandling, och om de utmaningar som Mandela ställdes inför i förverkligandet av sin vision om ett befriat Sydafrika. Bokens förord är skrivet av Mandelas änka, Graça Machel.
