<p>The book <em>Slovo: The Unfinished Autobiography </em>begins with an introduction by Slovo's second wife,<em> </em>Helena Dolny, in which she explains the context in<em> </em>which Slovo wrote his memoirs, and why it was left<em> </em>incomplete. The book is divided into two main parts.<em> </em>Part One entitled <em>Autobiography </em>was written by<em> </em>Slovo. He started his autobiography with a chapter<em> </em>on his return to Obel in December 1981, a small<em> </em>town in Lithuania where he was born. His parents<em> </em>migrated when he was two years old and settled in<em> </em>Argentina before moving to South Africa where<em> </em>they settled permanently. He narrated the different<em> </em>opportunities that were available to him during his<em> </em>years in exile to visit Obel and the reasons why he<em> </em>was unable to visit the place of his early childhood<em> </em>before December 1981.</p>
