The book, which was kept by political prisoner Sonny Venkatrathnam, is signed by 33 inmates - including former South African leader Nelson Mandela. In 1977, he signed his name beside a passage from "Julius Caesar". The lines are reminiscent of Mandela's electrifying declaration in a 1960's courtroom that he was prepared to die for his beliefs; today they carry added poignancy as the 94-year-old former president lies gravely ill in a hospital.
