Produktinformationen zu „His Day is Done “
As the world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela, internatonal icon and champion for peace, Maya Angelou delivers a heartrending tribute to commemorate his life and legacy. In an original work, Maya Angelou has penned a literary monument to South African president and freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela. His Day Is Done celebrates Mandela's courageous spirit and his commitment to forgiveness, famously reflected in the invitation he extended to his captors and guards to witness his presidential inauguration only four years after his release from prison. Angelou's heartfelt words lend comfort at a time of profound loss and offer poignant reminders of Mandela's triumphs. Angelou taps into the overwhelming joy and pride he inspired in all who knew him intimately as Madiba and in those he encouraged through his relentless pursuit of liberation and freedom for South Africans and oppressed persons in every corner of the earth. As Angelou says, "Nelson Mandela's gift to the world was his ability to forgive." His Day Is Done is her gift to him and to us all.
