Produktbeschreibung

Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, was originally written in Gujarati and published as Satyana Prayogoathva Aatmakatha (Experiments with Truth or Autobiography). It was published in serial form over a number of instalments in Navajivan, a Gujarati weekly, from 1925 to 1929. The English translation as we see it today was first published in 1948.

In The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mohandas Gandhi shares his ideologies and morals with the general public, and also narrates incidents that shaped the path that he would take towards the truth. Childhood incidents, incidents from the Indian struggle from independence, Gandhi's experiences in South Africa, his return to India and his full-fledged involvement in the Independence struggle, his relationship with spirituality and kindness, are all part of this story that, as Gandhi stresses, is more about his experiments with life lessons and morals than it is an autobiography.

Considered one of the most important books of all time due to the influence it wields on people across the world, The Story of My Experiments with Truth is an insight into the mind and life of a man who went on to become the Father of the Nation and shaped India into what it is today.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 - 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule, and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma, first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world. Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and was called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. He moved to South Africa in 1893, to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. In 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule. Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist, who assassinated Gandhi on 30 January 1948 by firing three bullets into his chest.
