In this title Albie Sachs and his life partner Vanessa September take us with them to his places of former exile. In London and St Petersburg and Helsinki we meet those who they met and see the sights and sounds they experienced on what is often an intimate journey that celebrates freedom, love and happiness. Their encounters range from former IRA and loyalist prisoners in Belfast to President Putin in Moscow and couples wheeling prams on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin, and in the process the reader shares their thoughts and conversations on politics, law, music, art, and architecture. The people the meet on their travels want to know more about how - in the country that gave rise to apartheid - the struggle for human rights has produced what is widely regarded as the world's most advanced constitution. No one is more qualified to answer such telling questions than Albie Sachs – which he does in this title with warmth, charm and unique insight. Forward lean; ex-library.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
