The book was written by Rowena Akinyemi.

I chose this book because I thought it was going to be interesting.

This book is about the life history of Nelson Mandela.

He was born on 18 July 1918 in a small village just south of Qunu, in South Africa.

When he was nine, Nelson´s father died and his mother took him to live whit his uncle.

In 1941 Nelson began work as a guard at one of Johannesburg´s gold mines.

When he was dismissed he beginning  to study.

He discovered the apartheid and he spent his life fighting it in South Africa.

The South African government imprisoned him for 27 years, but Mandela persevered.

During his imprisonment, Mandela became a hero to people around the world and a symbol of the injustice of apartheid.

After his release from prison in 1990, he became the President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

Mandela died on December 5, 2013, at age 95

I like it but it has bored me a bit since I already knew the life of Nelson.

Mandela was born in a small village , in the Trabskei province and was called Rolihlahla, but  some years leater his teacher gave him the name of Nelson.
When his father dies, he moved to his uncle´s hause, during this time he learned a lot about the African history. In 1939 Jongintaba sent nelson to the college, but during his second year he had troubles due to the protest and he could not finish the college's year, later Jongintiba told to the nelson´s uncle to do an arrange married, then Nelson left his hause and went to Johannesburg.
In johannesburg he decided to study law, and he also became involved in the ANC, inside the non-violent group.
During his campaing against the withe laws, he was  harassed by the white police, then he was imprisioned for treason , but thanks to the massacre he walk free and broke his first marriage and made a new one with his second wife Winnie.
The ANC realized that the non-violent was not effective, then they asked Mandela to made the MK and they plants a lot of bombs in some governement places.
Due to this actions mandela was sentenced to life impriosenment and inside the prision he becames in one of the gratest political prisioners, their period in prision was during the next nineteen years but Nelson still preserved his ideas and principles, during this stage in prision he wrotte a biography and outside a campaing in favour of the mandela´s liberation was started, then due to the international pressions in 1990 Mandela was liberated and in the next elections (the first where the black people could vote) he becames in the president, he had done a lot of good things like building new hauses and schools and the poverty falled dawn later he was relegated by Thabo, a new president, then Mandela left the politics and started to life in family, but his campaings against the poverty and the inequalities continues around all the world.
I like this book very much because the story of mandela´s life was amazing and the character of Mandela is a referent in terms of peace and superation, he was ready to die due tu his principles and that honors him.

Im going to comment the Marta´s analysis of Nelson Mandela. I think his analysis is a good one but it could have a bit more information in some parts of this book like the Mandela´s life during the prision, but definetly its a small and aclarative summary of what this book contains.

A good summary Pablo, but there are a lot of silly spelling mistakes.  It sounds rather Spanglish.... prepared in Spanish and then translated into English, am I right?

When he was 23 and finished his studies, he joined the African National Congress tofight for the rights of black people.After 10 years of fighting, Mandela was arrested and he spent 27 years in jail. When he left, Mandela became the first black president of South Africa.

This book is about a detective in the Angeles called Carmady who was bored for having no case to solve, until one day, Kathy, told him the story of Leander Pearls and who could know where Peeler Mardo was, the murder. Also, she told him there was a reward of 25000 dollars for finding the Leander pearls and that Peeler Mardo knows where they are hidden. When he arrives at Kathy's house where Peeler Mardo was, he saw that he was dead. Then he asked Rush Madder, an attorney for bad things, if he knew where were the pearls but he told him he didn´t know anything about it.

Carmady went to the north looking for clues related with the Leander pearls. There they followed the clues of the Leander Pearls. There was a fight where Sype and Carol died. Then they found the pearls inside the goldfish. Because of that Kathy and Carmady got the reward.

I like this book because I like detectives and mystery histories.
I am going to comment the summary of Jorje that I think he could have put more things, it is too much short so I can´t understand it easy.

Alan Battersby wrote this book because when he was small he was struck by an article written in the newspaper very similar to the subject related to his book.

Its genre is drama and research. Besides, it has taught me that there is no need to feel jealous for anything or anyone because in the future we could regret it.

This book talks about two old women who live in the same city, but who lead very different lives, Annie Clayton is a homeless woman, she has nothing and nobody, but before she was the most famous director of the daily news. On the other hand, Mrs. Joanna is a rich widow with a weird lifestyle. Nat, who is a investigator, receives a call on November 22 from a homeless old woman, who asks her to try to find her son because she has not seen him for 20 years, and she is about to die. Weeks later, Nat calls Annie telling her that she has already found her son, but in the middle of their conversation she suffers a heart attack. Jackie, at her mother's funeral tells the true story of why he disappeared. His stepmother, Mrs. Joanna, excited to see him regretted have thrown Annie from her mansion because of jealousy. The daily news, after hearing what happened, published these news, whose director, Mrs. Joanna, now regrets very much.

This book I started reading this holiday because my brother gave it to me for Christmas and in my opinion, the book is very interesting, since until the last chapter you do not discover what happens. I would recommend this book to people who like the mystery.

Characters:

Nat Marley: New York private investigator.

Annie Clayton: a homeless woman.

Mrs. Joanna Whittaker: a rich widow.

Martha Bianchi: Mrs. Joanna Whittaker´s maid.

Jackie Robinson Clayton: Annie Clayton´s son.

The fruitcake special and other stories. This book was written by Frank Brennan. I decided to read it because my brother gave it to me.  It is a fantasy book, which is very interesting and it has a lot of vocabulary easy. I started reading it and from the beginning it gave me a good vibe so I decided to continue. Besides, I read it very fast, just two weeks.

This book consists of five independent stories. The first story is “the fruitcake special”: Anna is a chemist who works for a large perfume company and makes a perfume that attracts men, to the point that she falls in love with her boss.

Continue with “The Real Aunt Molly”: Aunt Molly is widowed, therefore, she saddens. Then, her children give her a trip in which she is hypnotized. The third story is brains: Gina, an investigator who studies for her doctorate and has discovered a new drug...She has been developing a drug that increases the intelligence. She is interrogated by Mr. Dimitri, “the bad guy in the movie”, about his work with Max the monkey; he now has the intelligence of an eight-year-old. They killed max in order not to be discovered.

The next part is “the book of thoughts”: Chester is a young executive. One night, he is reviewing some books outside of an antique store. He selects an old volume called the book of thoughts. Then, having dinner at a restaurant, the thoughts of the waiter appear in the book, but when he looks for the book to find his opinion on it, the book disappears. The last story is “Finders Keepers”: Harry Chen is a professor of archeology at a university in Singapore; also he is a thief, who has a private collection of stolen artifacts. One day, he reviews a collection of articles. Accidentally, he founds a bottle and he decides to pocket it. Later on his way to home, he blows the whistle and makes the people around him frozen. Harry drops the bottle and crushes it under his feet. He is trapped in time.

In my opinion, it is a very entertaining book. It has quite interesting and funny stories.

I recommend this book to everyone and I like it because it has many characters who are completely different among them. I want to read more books like this!

Nelson Mandela was born in the south of Qunu, he was the only one of his brothers and sisters who was to the school.
When he was 9, his father died, and he started living with hisn uncle.
Nelson began to study law, he met and fell in love with a girl called Evelyn, later they got married, and they have two childs.
When he finished his studies, he was in the ANC (African National Congress)
the married with Evelyn broke and he get married with Winnie.
The ANC fought against the apartheid, and then the goverment makes ilegal the political party but they continued fight underground. Later he got arrested for that.
Ther had been a lot of protests and much later the goverment had to free him. He was chosen to be president of the ANC and he was the first black president in the first democratic elections there.
Not much time after he was illl and he began to step away of from national life and enjoy time with his family.
I like the plot of the book, but I hadn't chosen this book if I didn't have it. It's very amazing Mandelas' life but I woud prefer to read about him in a shorter text.

The plot is set in 1918 in the peaceful province of Transkei, South Africa, the Mandela family gave their nwe baby son the name Rolihlahla-'Troublemaker'.But the young boy's early years were happy ones, and he grew up to be a good student and an enthusiastic sportsman.
Who could imagin then what was waiting for Nelson Mandela- the tireless struggle for human rights, the long years in prision, the happiness and sadness of family life, and one day the title of President of South Africa? This is the story of an extraordinary man, recognized as one of the world's greatest leaders, whose long walk to freedom brought new hope to a troubled nation.
I choose this bock because it was in my bock list for this academic course.
