Summary of the Book
One of the earliest books developed by the Press in India, My Early Life (1932) is a concise version of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's autobiography.
The charming little book took shape while Gandhi was in prison, guiding the expert hand of Mahadev Desai, his secretary, at every step of its making.
My Early Life: An Illustrated Story covers the formative years (1869-1914) of Gandhi's life—from early childhood, schooldays, and teenage desires and confessions to the trip to England and struggle thereafter as a young attorney to the austere life in South Africa. This illustrated edition of a flesh-and-blood story of an inspirational journey—from 'Mohandas to Mahatma'—includes contextual notes and evocative line drawings to complement the narrative.
