More than half a century after his death, Mahatma Gandhi continues to inspire millions throughout the world. Yet modern India, most strikingly in its decision to join the nuclear arms race, seems to have abandoned much of his nonviolent vision. Inspired by recent events in India, Stanley Wolpert offers this subtle and profound biography of India's "Great Soul."Wolpert compellingly chronicles the life of Mahatma Gandhi from his early days as a child of privilege to his humble rise to power and his assassination at the hands of a man of his own faith. This trajectory, like that of Christ, was the result of Gandhi's passion: his conscious courting of suffering as the means to reach divine truth. From his early campaigns to stop discrimination in South Africa to his leadership of a people's revolution to end the British imperial domination of India, Gandhi emerges as a man of inner conflicts obscured by his political genius and moral vision. Influenced early on by nonviolent teachings in Hinduism, Jainism, Christianity, and Buddhism, he came to insist on the primacy of love for one's adversary in any conflict as the invincible power for change. His unyielding opposition to intolerance and oppression would inspire India like no leader since the Buddha--creating a legacy that would encourage Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, and other global leaders to demand a better world through peaceful civil disobedience.By boldly considering Gandhi the man, rather than the living god depicted by his disciples, Wolpert provides an unprecedented representation of Gandhi's personality and the profound complexities that compelled his actions and brought freedom to India.

Gandhi est une des figures politiques les plus marquantes du xxe siècle. Alors que sa vie n'a cessé d'alimenter de nombreuses controverses, celles-ci semblent souvent s'être évaporées sous la plume de ses biographes succombant aisément à l'hagiographie. Le présent ouvrage, qui se veut à la fois synthétique et critique, analyse la vie, la pensée et l'œuvre de Gandhi. Dans une première partie, les étapes marquantes de sa vie seront retracées en mettant en exergue la force, mais aussi les ambiguïtés de ses actions. La seconde partie se focalisera sur la pensée de Gandhi : ses idées sur la religion, la politique, l'action sociale, la caste, la non-violence, les femmes et la sexualité seront examinées parmi d'autres. C'est un Gandhi à la fois plus humain et plus complexe qui se révélera au cours de ces pages ; loin d'être tarie, sa pensée ne se laisse pas enfermer dans des formules insipides et elle continuera d'influencer de nombreuses personnalités pour longtemps encore.
