Extrait : Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (« Madiba », de son nom tribal), né le 18 juillet 1918 à Mvezo en Afrique du Sud, fut l'un des meneurs historiques de la lutte contre le système politique d'apartheid et le président de la République d'Afrique du Sud de 1994 à 1999, à la suite des premières élections nationales non-raciales de l'histoire du pays. Nelson Mandela intègre l'African National Congress (ANC) en 1944, afin de lutter contre la domination politique de la minorité blanche et la ségrégation raciale menée par celle-ci. Devenu avocat, il participe à la lutte non-violente contre les lois de l'apartheid, qui commencent à être mises en place après la victoire électorale du Parti national en mai 1948. L'ANC est interdit en 1960, et la "lutte pacifique" ne donnant pas de résultats concrets, Mandela fonde et dirige la branche militaire de l'ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, en 1961, qui mène une campagne de sabotage contre des installations publiques. Arrêté par la police, il est condamné d'abord à une peine de 5 ans de prisons puis, inculpé pour sabotages et trahison, il est condamné à la prison à vie lors du procès de Rivonia et purge sa peine à Robben Island pendant 18 ans au large de la ville du Cap.

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, usually shortened to Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub, 6 July 1935) is the 14th Dalai Lama, a spiritual leader revered among the people of Tibet. He is the head of the government-in-exile based in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India. Tibetans traditionally believe him to be the reincarnation of his predecessors. The Dalai Lama was born fifth of seven children to a farming family in the village of Taktser. His first language was, in his own words, "a broken Xining language which was (a dialect of) the Chinese language" as his family did not speak the regional Amdo dialect. He was proclaimed the tulku or rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two. In 1950 the army of the People's Republic of China invaded the region. One month later, on 17 November 1950, he was enthroned formally as Dalai Lama: at the age of fifteen, he became the region's most important spiritual leader and political ruler. In 1951 the Chinese military pressured the Dalai Lama to ratify a seventeen-point agreement which permitted the People's Republic of China to take control of Tibet. He fled through the mountains to India soon after the failed 1959 uprising, and the effective collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement. In India he established a government-in-exile. The most influential member of the Gelugpa or Yellow Hat sect, he has considerable influence over the other sects of Tibetan Buddhism. The Chinese government regards him as the symbol of an outmoded theocratic system. Along with...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20238168 ... Read more

April 1973 in Mougins, Frankreich) war ein spanischer Maler, Grafiker und Bildhauer und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein umfangreiches Gesamtwerk von Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Grafiken, Plastiken und Keramiken hatte großen Einfluss auf die Kunst der Moderne. Es ist geprägt durch eine große Vielfalt künstlerischer Ausdrucksformen, die von klassischer bis zu abstrakter Darstellung reichen. Die Gemälde aus seiner Blauen und Rosa Periode und die Begründung des Kubismus zusammen mit Georges Braque bilden den Beginn seiner außerordentlichen Künstlerlaufbahn. Zu Picassos bekanntesten Werken gehören das präkubistische Gemälde Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) und das monumentale Guernica (1937), eine künstlerische Umsetzung der Schrecken des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs. Das Motiv der Taube auf dem Plakat, das er im Jahr 1949 für den Pariser Weltfriedenskongress entwarf, wurde weltweit zum Friedenssymbol. Geburtshaus Picassos in Málaga, Plaza de la Merced 36 (rechts, heute Nr. 15)Picasso war das erste Kind von José Ruiz Blasco und María Picasso y López. Der traditionellen Namensgebung in Málaga folgend erhielt er bei seiner Geburt im Jahr 1881 eine Vielzahl von Vornamen: Pablo, Diego, José, Francisco de Paula, Juan Nepomuceno, María de los Remedios, Crispiniano de la Santísima Trinidad, von denen lediglich Pablo (eine Reverenz an Don Josés kurz vor dem ursprünglichen Hochzeitstermin verstorbenen älteren Bruder) gebräuchlich wurde....http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=9729 ...

She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She has remained under house arrest in Myanmar for almost 14 out of the past 20 years.

Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other alleged crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid. In accordance with his sentence, Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela supported reconciliation and negotiation, and helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honourary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela. Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, most notably the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. In November 2009, the United Nations General Assembly announced that Mandela's birthday, 18 July, is to be known as 'Mandela Day' to mark his contribution to world freedom.

Product Description
Burma's Revolution of the Spirit reveals through words and images a land of rare grandeur--where a dramatic battle for democracy is being waged.Nestled beneath the far-eastern end of the Himalayas lies an enchanted place, whose cities bear the legendary names "Mandalay" and "Rangoon"; where the ancient landscape shimmers with thousands upon thousands of gilded Buddhist shrines set against the glowing background of saffron rice paddies. Deemed "the golden land" by European explorers in the fifteenth century and "the pearl of Asia" by Rudyard Kipling, geographically remote Burma--"sister country" of neighboring Tibet--has for the most part miraculously defied the influences of the modern world.Burma's Revolution of the Spirit takes us behind the complex veil that shields from Western eyes this most fascinating and culturally diverse, yet least documented country in Southeast Asia. It demonstrates all too clearly the nation's political isolation by a military dictatorship, which has virtually sowed salt in Burma's fertile earth for thirty years and which responded to a nonviolent popular demonstration on August 8, 1988, with an unconscionably brutal assault inviting comparison with Tiananmen Square.Above all, Burma's Revolution of the Spirit depicts a people's hunger to be free despite the cruelest suppression--and presents a true national heroine:Aung San Suu Kyi, awarded the 1991 Novel Peace Prize in absentia while under house arrest and still held prisoner in her own land. In this dynamic woman's exquisite features, in scenes of pastoral serenity and impassioned protest, we glimpse the soul of one of the most politically ravaged yet spiritually vibrant societies on earth.Filled with striking documentary images in both black and white and color (many of which were smuggled out of the country), the book is enriched by the words of Aung San Suu Kyi, whose profound inspirational powers evoke those of such gentle modern warriors a Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and the Dalai Lama. Tributes from seven Nobel Peace laureates are also included. Burma's Revolution of the Spirit conveys in affecting narrative its message of justice and respect for all life. ... Read more

Life after Mother's Detention In 1991 Alexander's mother Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in Burma. At the time Alexander (age 18) and his brother Kim Aris (age 14) accepted the Prize on their mother's behalf. The Nobel Peace Prize's 1.3 million USD prize money was used to establish a health and education trust for the Burmese people. Over the years Alexander has accepted many awards and given many speeches on behalf of his mother. They include, but are not limited to, accepting The Award of the International Human Rights Law Group; welcoming the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Spain ; and accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1989 Alexander and his brother were both stripped of their Burmese citizenships by the ruling junta. After his father's death in 1999 Alexander visited his mother for a short time.
