Publisher's Synopsis

An exhaustive biography of the man still considered the conscience of the nation of India, this exploration of Mohandas Gandhi's life stretches from his childhood among the Gujarati merchants, through his time as a student in England, his years as a lawyer in South Africa, and his return to the Indian subcontinent and subsequent anticolonialist and nonviolent activities, to, ultimately, his assassination in 1948. Attali avoids both hagiography and hatchet job, presenting rather an objective, complete portrait of a man who has influenced leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela, but who was not without his own weaknesses and contradictions.

Un biografìa exhaustiva del hombre todavìa considerado como la conciencia de la nación de la India, esta exploración de la vida de Mohandas Gandhi abarca el periodo desde su infancia entre los comerciantes de Gujarat, pasando por sus estudios en Inglaterra, sus años de abogado en Sudáfrica y su regreso al subcontinente indio y subsiguiente acción anticolonial y no violenta, hasta llegar, finalmente, a su asesinato en 1948. Attali cae ni en la adulación ni en la crìtica destructiva, presentando más bien un retrato objetivo y completo de un hombre que influyó lìderes como el Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King Jr. y Nelson Mandela, pero que también tenìa sus faltas y contradicciones.
