Mahatma Gandhi and Leo Tolstoy Letters

Traduzione e note di Bianca Vittoria FrancoIl nome di Gandhi è ormai divenuto sinonimo di pace e di ribellione non violenta, e forse mai come oggi è importante conoscerne il messaggio. In queste bellissime pagine il Mahatma analizza minuziosamente tutto il suo percorso esistenziale, le sue esperienze di vita, gli studi, gli scontri, le conquiste, il lungo cammino percorso con la sua gente. E offre al lettore la sua umile, operosa, quotidiana ricerca della verità, dalla quale emerge la grandiosa lezione morale che la sua presenza rappresenta nella storia contemporanea. L’autobiografia del profeta della non-violenza alla ricerca di una via per la verità: la via della pace e della fratellanza fra gli uomini.Mohandas K. Gandhinacque a Porpandar, in India, nel 1869. Dal 1893 fino al 1914 visse in Sudafrica, dove lottò per i diritti civili della comunità indiana, sperimentando quei metodi non-violenti che lo avrebbero reso celebre in tutto il mondo. Tornato in India, lanciò la grande campagna di disobbedienza civile contro le autorità inglesi che, dopo oltre venticinque anni, portò il Paese all’indipendenza. Il Mahatma (Grande anima) morì nel 1948, vittima di un fanatico indù. Oltre a La mia vita per libertà e a Il mio credo, il mio pensiero in volumi singoli, e il volume unico Il potere della non-violenza, di Gandhi la Newton Compton ha pubblicato anche Le grandi religioni. Induismo, Buddismo, Cristianesimo, Islamismo.

An Autobiography

Gandhi

La voie de la non-violence n'est pas seulement l'apanage des saints et des sages, mais aussi bien de tous les autres hommes. " La non-violence est la loi de notre espèce, comme la violence est la loi de la brute. L'esprit somnole chez la brute qui ne connaît pour toute loi que celle de la force physique. La dignité de l'homme exige d'obéir à une loi supérieure : à la force de l'esprit. " Dans l'histoire de l'humanité, Gandhi est le premier à avoir étendu le principe de la non-violence du plan individuel au plan social et politique.

An Illustrated Story

My Early Life

"My purpose," Mahatma Gandhi writes of this book, "is to describe experiments in the science of Satyagraha, not to say how good I am." Satyagraha, Gandhi's nonviolent protest movement (satya = true, agraha = firmness), came to stand, like its creator, as a moral principle and a rallying cry; the principle was truth and the cry freedom. The life of Gandhi has given fire and fiber to freedom fighters and to the untouchables of the world: hagiographers and patriots have capitalized on Mahatma myths. Yet Gandhi writes: "Often the title [Mahatma, Great Soul] has deeply pained me. . . . But I should certainly like to narrate my experiments in the spiritual field which are known only to myself, and from which I have derived such power as I possess for working in the political field." Clearly, Gandhi never renounced the world; he was neither pacifist nor cult guru. Who was Gandhi? In the midst of resurging interest in the man who freed India, inspired the American Civil Rights Movement, and is revered, respected, and misunderstood all over the world, the time is proper to listen to Gandhi himself -- in his own words, his own "confessions," his autobiography. Gandhi made scrupulous truth-telling a religion and his Autobiography inevitably reminds one of other saints who have suffered and burned for their lapses. His simply narrated account of boyhood in Gujarat, marriage at age 13, legal studies in England, and growing desire for purity and reform has the force of a man extreme in all things. He details his gradual conversion to vegetarianism and ahimsa (non-violence) and the state of celibacy (brahmacharya, self-restraint) that became one of his more arduous spiritual trials. In the political realm he outlines the beginning of Satyagraha in South Africa and India, with accounts of the first Indian fasts and protests, his initial errors and misgivings, his jailings, and continued cordial dealings with the British overlords. Gandhi was a fascinating, complex man, a brilliant leader and guide, a seeker of truth who died for his beliefs but had no use for martyrdom or sainthood. His story, the path to his vision of Satyagraha and human dignity, is a critical work of the twentieth century, and timeless in its courage and inspiration.
