Cooper dwells on insignificant and outright boring details of Mandela's life and glosses over everything that is most important and interesting. The narration is more poetic than the more straightforward picture book, "Peaceful Protest" by McDonough & Zeldis, but to no effect. Yes, this one has beautiful illustrations and use of symbolism, but I finished the book thinking this is who Mandela was: a man who stood up for what was right, didn't like apartheid, was unjustly thrown in prison, and then became the first elected president of South Africa. Really, that's it. What's all the fuss? Good thing we had another book handy to get the real scoop. ( ) Mandela was an interesting but difficult read. The illustrations are dark and relatively distracting. Given the scope of the text, dark images are appropriate but the actual text was difficult to read through full page illustrations. No information was provided as to the author's credentials. A brief bibliography is provided which includes an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. Additionally, a pronunciation key is provided. Overall, I had hoped to enjoy this book because of the story itself but the many detracting factors were overwhelming. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Few figures have inspired as much respect or admiration as Nelson Mandela. From his childhood in the South African countryside, to his election as the first black president in South Africa's history, Mandela's extra-ordinary life is a story of courage, persistence, hope and belief. Celebrated author/artist Floyd Cooper delivers "a forceful, credible picture of a strong and deeply devoted statesman" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
