Gandhi Life Lines

Without question Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. His principles of non-violence and passive resistance, his compassion, his steadfast determination in achieving political and social reform have influenced countless leaders and activists throughout the world.For this volume, editor and illustrator Beatrice Tanaka has culled Gandhi's inspirational text, either written or spoken, on a variety of subjects, including wealth, work, non-violence, civil disobedience, religion, love, and hope - all of which are as pertinent today, or perhaps more so, as the day they were written.Every spread includes not only Gandhi's words, but Beatrice Tanaka's striking black-and-white illustrations, which were created for this volume to complement Gandhi's visionary text.
