«An Autobiography» is the autobiography of M.K. Gandhi, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (464 pages, in English).
Gandhi recounts in the first person his search for truth and his path towards non-violence, from his experiences in South Africa and his struggle against colonialism in India to his commitment to simplicity, diet and celibacy as means of purification. More than a conventional biography, it offers his life as a reference for those who wish to follow in his footsteps.
It is part of the Penguin Modern Classics collection, with an introduction by Sunil Khilnani and a translation by Mahadev Desai. The work was originally published in 1927.
Recommended for those seeking a direct testimony of Gandhi's thought and the foundations of non-violent resistance.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi 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 to later inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā, first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.
