Autobiography

Bok av Hermann Hesse
In this autobiography, also titled The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Mohandas K. Gandhi recounts his life from childhood up until 1921, noting that "e;my life from this point onward has been so public that there is hardly anything about it that people do not know."e; HarperCollins chose this work as one of the "e;100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century."e; The pursuit of truth was a guiding principle for Gandhi. He states that it "e;is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. I simply want to tell the story of my numerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography."e; He also notes that this "e;will of course include experiments with non-violence, celibacy and other principles of conduct believed to be distinct from truth."e;
Detta är en bok som jag tycker alla borde läsa. Den handlar kortfattad om en indisk snubbe som går igenom flera olika faser av sitt liv, medan han beger sig på en resa för att hitta ett inre lugn och upplysning.

Hesse skriver på ett sätt som är på något konstigt sätt väldigt attraktivt.

Den är också tillräckligt kort för att vem som helst ska kunna läsa den.
