Romain Rolland, guided by his friend Kalidas Nag, wrote this essay while Gandhi was still in the middle of his struggle. He explains the meaning of the name Mahatma, describes Gandhi’s life and character, his work in South Africa and India, his doctrine of non-violence, and his campaign against untouchability, quoting Gandhi’s own words at length.
One of the first books to introduce Gandhi to Western readers, written with admiration and urgency. Download the free EPUB.
