Mandela, the Multicoloured African

by Alain Serres, ill. Zaü and b&w photographs
20 years ago, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. He was to become the first black president of South Africa. From the fields of his childhood to the supreme victory, this is the destiny of an uncommon humanist, who became a universal symbol of peace and freedom. A picture book with the colours of hope.
At the centre of the book, 27 special pages tell this endless eternity: 27 black and white drawings, surrounded by two red bands that tell about imprisonment. 8 non-fiction pages with photographs also bring essential information for the understanding of Mandela's unique destiny.
68 pages, 26 x 26 cm, 9 years +
