El factor humano. (John Carlin)

Reading is a pleasure but in the variety is the pleasure. I like reading all types of books, but we don't have all the time we want. It`s necessary to feed our brain and mind with books because they are our blood. I don't remember when I started to read... but my grandfather and two fantastic Spanish Literature teachers opened that brilliant world to me.

The last book I read it was El Factor Humano( Playing the enemy: Nelson Mandela) by John Carlin. John worked in SouthAfrica most part of his life as a journalist and he knows the culture, politics, and way of thinking of SouthAfrica people.

Many writers have written a lot of books about the process of union between white SouthAfrican people and black SouthAfrican people. But they have always written about the interior mechanisms during the process of peace. John Carlin wanted to write a book about a miracle; an epic story and at the same time a fable where had a lesson of intelligence and humbleness. And of course, he describes Nelson Mandela's personality; a little biography about him. It seems a book of motivation.

From the beggining I could understand the process of peace during the apartheid; to know more about Apartheid, Boers, Afrikaners,..After sufffering too much, due to the apartheid, black people would logically want to take revenge. But Nelson Mandela was a genuine player of chess. Through  a sport like rugby (a hated sport by black people) Mandela got his plan. All sports have a power of changing the world, of inspiring, of joinning people. 

Mandela was in prisson during 26 years and he forgave all the people who hurt him. There is a special mention the other people who was nex to him. All people say that when they talk to him they felt renewed. They felt better people than before the conversation.
