The Story of My Experiments with Truth: Mahatma Gandhi – An Autobiography

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi wrote this account of his own life as a record of trial and correction rather than achievement, testing his ideas about truth, diet, restraint and nonviolence and reporting where they failed. The narrative runs from his childhood and his years as a student and lawyer through the work in South Africa and into the Indian political career that followed. Because he treats his own conduct as the subject under examination, the book reads differently from most political memoirs. This edition presents the English text in a deluxe bound format. A closer look: • Written in Gandhi's own words about his beliefs and his mistakes • Covers his early life, legal training and years in South Africa • Sets out the development of his thinking on truth and nonviolence • Deluxe bound edition suited to a reference shelf Of interest to students of Indian history, readers of political memoir and collectors, available in English at Boipoka.
