An Autobiography: or, the Story of My Experiments with Truth
The remarkable life and inspiring beliefs of a legendary peacemaker and liberator of India—in his own words.
Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.
In the story of his life from early childhood through 1921, Mohandas K. Gandhi candidly reveals his young investigations into sin and seeking atonement; the philosophy, art, and literature that influenced his thoughts and ideas; and his first experiences with politics and protest, which would provide the foundation for his nonviolent struggle for justice, equality, and Indian independence from the British Empire.
Gandhi’s intention in setting down an account of his formative years was to clarify the spiritual principles by which he lived and to inspire individuals and movements in their quests for personal and political freedom. The timeless lessons to be derived from the autobiography of this dedicated seeker of truth and brilliant leader continue to resonate wherever freedom is challenged by tyranny.

A bad attempt at an autobiography. Skips through most of the relevant bits. The advices were quite a headache. Absolutely nothing relevant to modern day. The people who take this advice should live in a different world of their own. But I do admire his strong will and unrelenting character.
