Editorial Reviews

Review

Gandhi's nonviolent struggles in South Africa and India had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. Although accepting of his status as a great innovator in the struggle against racism, violence, and, just then, colonialism, Gandhi feared that enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding. He says that he was after truth rooted in devotion to God and attributed the turning points, successes, and challenges in his life to the will of God. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices (he called himself a fruitarian), celibacy, and ahimsa, a life without violence. It is in this sense that he calls his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth, offering it also as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps. A reader expecting a complete accounting of his actions, however, will be sorely disappointed. --Amazon.com

About the Author

MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869-1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the movement to free India from British rule. He was the pioneer of satyagraha, resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, a philosophy founded upon total nonviolence, which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

A few typos aside, I do not regret for a single minute taking the time to slowly read this book, and think about it. The chapters are very short and numerous, and it is easy to read a little bit at a time. Gandhi has an easy and friendly way of speaking to the reader, and I found myself admiring the memory he displayed, as well as the moral principles he strove to uphold. He is also able to inject a very light touch of humor into the description of some very difficult situations. Before reading this book, I would not have guessed that he had tried to commit suicide as a young man (by taking poisonous seeds), and I was thankful for the frankness with which he expresses his trials and flaws. He called his delving into many aspects of life an "experiment", and he succeeded in making a positive difference on so many lives.

Really enjoy reading about Ghandi's life. The book is written in an introspective, humble and thoughtful manner beginning at his childhood and chronologically journeys through his extraordinary life. The chapters are short and concise, yet expansive in depth. Highly recommend!!!

I enjoyed this book as it followed Gandhi's day-to-day life and offered insight into his human side. I was expecting more of his philosophical views to show up in the text, but it didn't so I must look to other writings for this type of insight.

I had read a few excerpts and thought id buy the book. Come to find out the complete autobiography is pretty dry, at least in my opinion. I took it with me to read on a flight and after about 50 pages i couldnt take anymore. I found myself wanting more detail on things he didnt really elaborate on and becoming bored with the things he did.

Having lived in India in the 1960's, and having had a continuing interest, and read this recently on kindle, then bought it to have in our library. What a fascinating man!
