Die Lebensgeschichte Nelson Mandelas vom Hirtenjungen in der Transkei zum Anwlt in Johannesburg und später zum Symbol für unbeugsamen Widerstand gegen Rassismus und Willkürherrschaft: Vor dem Hintergrund südafrikanischer Geschichte wird der Werdegang vom berühmtesten Gefangenen der Welt zum Hoffnungsträger einer Nation und Staatsmann detailreich geschildert.Nelson Mandela ist weltweit Symbol geworden für unbeugsamen Widerstand gegen Rassismus und Willkürherrschaft, aber auch für Versöhnungsbereitschaft gegenüber dem Feind von einst. Seine Lebensgeschichte liest sich wie eine Legende und ist doch ein Tatsachenbericht: vom Hirtenjungen in der Transkei zum Anwalt in der Goldstadt Johannesburg, vom "Angeklagten Nummer eins" im Rivonia-Prozess zum lebenslänglich Inhaftierten auf Robben Island, vom berühmtesten Gefangenen der Welt zum ersten schwarzen Staatspräsidenten Südafrikas.
Tato kniha zachycuje prostřednictvím spousty jedinečných fotografií z archivu deníku Daily Mail a vysvětlujících popisek fascinující životní příběh komplexní a záhadné osobnosti, kterou byl John Lennon. Jeho život byl sice tragicky krátký, ale přesto pozoruhodně
naplněný. Do okamžiku než zemřel, dosáhl nebývalé proslulosti, nejprve jako člen kapely
Beatles, později jako úspěšný sólový umělec. Po banálních začátcích se skupinou, která
vystupovala na lokálních koncertech, založil kapelu vlastní. Beatles se stali jednou z
nejvlivnějších a nejvýznamnějších popových skupin všech dob.Koncem 60. let se John stále
více zaměřoval na projekty nesouvisející s Beatles, například na psaní a produkci
experimentální hudby, umění a filmu, a založil tzv. superskupinu Plastic Ono Band. Po
narození syna oznámil, že končí s hudebními aktivitami, aby se mohl věnovat rodině. O pět
let později se chtěl vrátit k nahrávání, ale než to stihl uskutečnit, byl před svým domem
zavražděn.
