"[Esta libro] continúa las memorias que Mandela publicó en El largo camino hacia la libertad, relatando sus años como presidente. La extraordinaria historia de un país en transición y los retos que afrontó el premio Nobel de la Paz al luchar por que su visión de una Sudáfrica liberada se convirtiera en realidad. En 1994, Nelson Mandela se convirtió en el primer presidente democrático de Sudáfrica. Desde el comienzo, se comprometió a ocupar el cargo durante una única legislatura de cinco años. A lo largo de su presidencia, tanto él como su gobierno garantizaron que todos los ciudadanos sudafricanos fueran iguales ante la ley, y sentaron las bases para que un país desgarrado por siglos de colonialismo y apartheid se convirtiera en una democracia plenamente operativa. [Esta libro] es la historia de los años presidenciales de Mandela, una obra basada en gran medida en las memorias que él empezó a escribir cuando estaba concluyendo su legislatura, pero que no pudo terminar. Ahora, el prestigioso escritor sudafricano Mandla Langa ha completado la labor, utilizando el inacabado borrador de Mandela, las notas detalladas que el presidente fue tomando a medida que se desarrollaban los acontecimientos y una ingente cantidad de material clasificado. Prologado por la viuda de Mandela, Graça Machel, el resultado es un relato vívido y a menudo inspirador de la presidencia de Mandela y de la creación de una nueva democracia."--Amazon.com.

Summary from English version: [This book] continues the memoirs that Nelson Mandela published in Long Walk to Freedom. This is the extraordinary story of a country in transition and the challenges that the Nobel prize winner faced while fighting to realize his dream of a free South Africa. In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of a democratic South Africa. From the outset, he was committed to serving only a single five-year term. During his presidency, he and his government ensured that all of South Africa's citizens became equal before the law, and he laid the foundation for turning a country riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy. [This book] is the story of Mandela's presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to leave 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 unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela's widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and often inspirational account of Mandela's presidency and the creation of a new democracy. It tells the story of a country in transition and the challenges Mandela faced as he strove to make his vision for a liberated South Africa a reality.

Work Description

"'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 rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.'--Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom. In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of a democratic South Africa. From the outset, he was committed to serving only a single five-year term. During his presidency, he and his government ensured that all of South Africa's citizens became equal before the law, and he laid the foundation for turning a country riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela's presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to leave 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 unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela's widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and often inspirational account of Mandela's presidency and the creation of a new democracy. It tells the story of a country in transition and the challenges Mandela faced as he strove to make his vision for a liberated South Africa a reality."--Dust jacket flap.
