Mahatma Gandhi an autobiography
This unusual autobiography "The Story of My Experiments with Truth", is a window to the workings of Mahatma Gandhi's mind - a window to understanding what drove this seemingly ordinary man to the heights of being the father of a nation - India.Starting with his days as a boy, Gandhi takes one through his trials and turmoils and situations that moulded his philosophy of life - going through child marriage, his studies in England, practicing Law in South Africa - and his Satyagraha there - to the early beginnings of the Independence movement in India.He did not aim to write an autobiography but rather share the experience of his various experiments with truth to arrive at what he perceived as Absolute Truth - the ideal of his struggle against racism, violence and colonialism.
Marcus aurelies meditation book in excellent condition
Written in Greek, without any intention of publication, by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Ranging from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the nature of moral virtue, human rationality, divine providence, and Marcus' own emotions. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of extended meditations and short aphorisms that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers through the centuries.
