I'm reading his biography and i'm so much inspired by his work, his thoughts.... I was wondering, does any of you know of books who speaks more about what he has done, who he is? Maybe history books or...? Thank you.

A friend and I were talking about Mandela the other day, and she highly recommended the film Invictus. While it's not about Mandela, one of the most powerful books I've ever read is set in his administration. It's No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu. The archbishop discusses his work with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which helped South Africa confront its hideous past.

Another thought: If you go to Amazon and search for the biography you're reading (assuming you like it), the site will likely suggest related titles.

Yes thank you :) I just bought it, but i thought, instead of buying every book i found on the subject (it can be expensive) i wanted some thoughtfull recommandation. I know there's the library of course, but it's closed right now and i'm kind of impatient when it come to books i want to read (right now!) So, i'll begin there and see where it goes :)
