Abstract
My general impression, after reading several autobiographies, is that an autobiography is not merely a catalogue of events and experiences in which a person has been involved, but that it also serves as some blueprint on which others may well model their own lives... This book has no such pretentions as it has nothing to leave behind (Nelson Mandela, 'Unpublished Sequel to Long Walk to Freedom'.)1.
