La vita di Gandhi, nelle sue stesse parole Edizione per il 150° anniversario con una nuova introduzione di Pankaj Mishra "Le generazioni future difficilmente crederanno che un uomo come lui abbia camminato sulla terra in carne e ossa" Albert Einstein alla morte di MK Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi nacque nell'India occidentale nel 1869. Studiò a Londra e in seguito viaggiò in Sudafrica, dove sperimentò il razzismo e si occupò dei diritti degli indiani, istituendo la sua prima campagna di resistenza passiva. Nel 1915 tornò nell'India controllata dagli inglesi, portando in un paese in preda all'indipendenza il suo impegno per un cambiamento non violento e la sua fede nel potere della verità. Sotto la guida di Gandhi, milioni di manifestanti si sarebbero impegnati in campagne di massa di disobbedienza civile, cercando il cambiamento attraverso la conversione morale dei colonizzatori. Per Gandhi, il lungo cammino verso l'indipendenza indiana avrebbe portato alla prigionia e alle difficoltà, ma non dimenticò mai i principi di verità e non violenza a lui così cari. Scritta negli anni '20, l'autobiografia di Gandhi racconta non solo delle sue lotte e delle sue ispirazioni, ma parla anche francamente dei suoi fallimenti. È un resoconto potente e duraturo di una vita straordinaria. "Cristo ci ha dato gli obiettivi e Mahatma Gandhi le tattiche" Martin Luther King Jr. "Ho la più grande ammirazione per Mahatma Gandhi. Era un grande essere umano con una profonda comprensione della natura umana. La sua vita mi ha ispirato" Il Dalai Lama "Le idee di Gandhi hanno svolto un ruolo fondamentale nella trasformazione del Sudafrica e con l'aiuto degli insegnamenti di Gandhi, l'apartheid è stato superato" Nelson Mandela

M. K. Gandhi (Author)
M. K. Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. He studied law in London and was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1891. He worked to improve the rights of immigrant Indians in South Africa and returned to India in 1915 to take up the struggle for independence from Britain. Gandhi never wavered in his belief of non-violent protests and in 1947, he succeeded in uniting India with a national movement. In January 1948, Gandhi was assassinated as he walked to take his evening prayers.

The life of Gandhi, in his own words150th Anniversary Edition with a New Introduction by Pankaj Mishra'Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood' Albert Einstein upon the death of M. K. GandhiMohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in western India in 1869. He was educated in London and later travelled to South Africa, where he experienced racism and took up the rights of Indians, instituting his first campaign of passive resistance. In 1915 he returned to British-controlled India, bringing to a country in the throes of independence his commitment to non-violent change, and his belief always in the power of truth. Under Gandhi's lead, millions of protesters would engage in mass campaigns of civil disobedience, seeking change through moral conversion of the colonizers. For Gandhi, the long path towards Indian independence would lead to imprisonment and hardship, yet he never once forgot the principles of truth and non-violence so dear to him.Written in the 1920s, Gandhi's autobiography tells not only of his struggles and inspirations but also speaks frankly of his failures.
