DescriptionA candid recreation of one of the most influential lives of recent times, "Mohandas" finally answers questions long asked about the timid youth from India's west coast who became a century's conscience and led his nation to liberty. What was Gandhi like in his daily life and in his closest relationships? In his face-offs with an Empire, with his own bitterly divided people, with his adversaries, his family and - his greatest confrontation - with himself? Answering these and other questions, and releasing the true Gandhi from his shroud of fame and myth, "Mohandas", authored by a practiced biographer who is also Gandhi's grandson, does more than tell a story. With its sweep, its swings between glory and tragedy, the profusion and richness of its characters - and the stamina and resilience of the chief among them - "Mohandas" tells the great history of an Asian nation's interaction with a European empire. But this historical account addresses today's issues as well. |
