Gandhi M.K.

    Mahatma Gandhi was een Indiase advocaat, antikoloniale nationalist en politiek ethicus. Zijn filosofie van geweldloos verzet inspireerde bewegingen voor burgerrechten en vrijheid over de hele wereld. Gandhi's werk richtte zich op het bereiken van de onafhankelijkheid van India via vreedzame middelen, en zijn geschriften verkenden een breed scala aan onderwerpen, waaronder sociale rechtvaardigheid, ethiek en spiritualiteit. Hij werd een symbool van vreedzame verzet, en zijn nalatenschap resoneert vandaag de dag nog steeds.

    The Story of My Experiments with Truth
    • This unusual autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, is a window to the workings of Mahatma Gandhi's mind, a window to the emotions of his heart, a window to understanding what drove this seemingly ordinary man to the heights of being the father of a nation-- India. Starting with his days as a boy, Gandhi takes one through his trials and turmoils and situations that moulded his philosophy of life: going through child marriage, his studies in England, practicing Law in South Africa-- and his Satyagraha there-- to the early beginnings of the Independence movement in India. He did not aim to write an autobiography but rather share the experience of his various experiments with truth to arrive at what he perceived as Absolute Truth-- the ideal of his struggle against racism, violence and colonialism. This is a translation by Mahadev Desai."
