| Publisher Description: This antiquarian book contains extracts form Gandhi's writings and speeches bearing on non-violence. The aim of this book is to present the gist of his teachings in so far they are relevant to those practicing pacifism. Accordingly, the emphasis is laid chiefly on general principles, and on international problems rather than problems of Indian origin and setting. This inspirational text will appeal to those with an interest in Gandhi and his life's work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. The chapters of this book include: 'A Treatise on Non-Violence', 'The Law of Non-Violence', 'Evidence for The Force of Love', 'Implications of Non-Violence', 'Violence Implies Atheism', 'Courage Required', 'Suffering and Sacrifice', 'Training for Non-Violence', etcetera. This text is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned biography of Mahatma Gandhi. |
