Más información sobre el libro

In the Robben Island prison register, Nelson Mandela was famously recorded as prisoner number 466/64. Number 468/64 was Ahmed Kathrada. Sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 in the infamous Rivonia Trial, Ahmed Kathrada spent twenty-six continuous years in jail for his political beliefs. During his incarceration, he secretly jotted down quotations, proverbs, aphorisms, poetry and drama extracts, and passages from books, magazines and newspapers. On Robben Island, these quotations were like familiar friends. They helped steel the soul within the stolen body -- the authorities might control that body but they could not lock up the mind.
