Mahatma Gandi
The book Mahatma Gandhi (1954) by French writer and philosopher Romain Rolland is a biographical work dedicated to the life and work of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement.
Rolland, who was himself a pacifist and humanist, portrays Gandhi as a symbol of non-violent resistance (satyagraha) and a moral leader who inspired millions of people around the world with his ideas about justice, non-violence and a simple life. The author analyzes Gandhi's spiritual roots, the influence of Hindu philosophy, Christianity and Tolstoy's ideas on his work and his role in the fight against British colonial rule.
The book is not only a chronological account of Gandhi's life, but also a philosophical reflection on his ideas and their universal value. Rolland's style reflects admiration for Gandhi, but also a critical analysis of his methods and influence.
This work provides valuable insight into Gandhi's character, political strategy, and moral fortitude, making it essential reading for anyone interested in history, politics, and ethics.
