These slim, intensely personal volumes can contain words, pictures, a pressed butterfly, or even grains of sand as ways to represent the lives lost to this devastating plague. Excerpts from Ugandan memory books appear throughout \u003ci\u003eI Die, but My Memory Lives On\u003c\/i\u003e and, together with Mankell's narrative, they tell the stories of individual lives while sounding a powerful warning about the threat of AIDS. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the book includes an appendix listing AIDS organizations and resources. A portion of the book's proceeds will be donated to AIDS charities in Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henning Mankell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595580131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595580139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.26h x 4.90w x 0.61d","brand":"Henning Mankell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979298177279,"sku":"9781595580139","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c43ca9b3-4ed1-45c8-a364-779dabf4cef1.jpg?v=1683244808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-die-but-the-memory-henning-mankell-9781595580139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
