En savoir plus sur le livre
A minor classic in biography, this work coincides with the release of a major motion picture about India's saint and greatest political leader. Hailed by critics upon its initial release thirty years ago, it offers profound insights into a figure often deemed inexplicable by Western readers unfamiliar with the spirit of India. The author, a superb historian and friend of Gandhi, captures the essence of a man who famously stated, "People describe me as a saint trying to be a politician but the truth is the other way around." The biography explores how the son of modest means became the powerful leader of the world's most populous country and what spiritual forces transformed a British-trained lawyer into the saint who liberated India. Fischer's work remains vital for understanding Gandhi, blending historical context with personal narrative. Its re-issue ensures that both old and new readers can appreciate this important and inspiring classic.
