Book Description | Four or five years ago, at the instance of some of my nearest co-workers, I agreed to write my autobiography. I made the start, but scarcely had I turned over the first sheet when riots broke out in Bombay and the work remained at a standstill. it is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. I simply want to tell the story of my numerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. But I shall not mind, if every page of it speaks only of my experiments. I believe, or at any rate flatter myself with the belief, that a connected account of all these experiments will not be without benefit to the reader. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

Editorial Review | Gandhi's autobiography is part of the award-winning Listen to Genius series, which is a notch above most audio biographies, intellectually speaking. Written when Gandhi was released from prison, this has been carefully abridged to retain both the Mahatma's message while conveying his personality. Davidson, who is British, sounds convincingly Indian, and his narration is both dignified and clear. There are no great waves of emotion although some sections are read with a carefully controlled anger, which suits the material. Davidson also manages to sound quite accessible, a quality relayed through Gandhi's own writing style. The production is straightforward, told without music or sound effects, which could have muddled the tone. R.O.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine |
