520			_aThis collection of writings, edited by her husband, Michael Aris, reflects Aung San Suu Kyi's beliefs, hopes and fears for her people. Composed before her present incarceration, it ranges from a portrait of her father, Aung San, the revered leader of the nationalist movement in the 1930s and 1940s, to essays on the literature and cultural heritage of her country, a comparative study of intellectual development in Burma and India under colonialism and a selection of essays, speeches, letters and interviews resulting from her involvement in the struggle for democracy. Together with poignant and humorous reminiscences by two people who know her well and two independent assessments of her role in politics and the human rights movement, these writings give a voice to Burma's 'woman of destiny', an individual whose indomitable spirit, courage and ideals were internationally recognized when in 1990 she was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought and in 1991 received the Nobel Peace Prize.
