Description

All men are Brothers is compelling and unique collection of Gandhi’s most trenchant writings in non-violence, especially in the context of a post-nuclear world.

This compendium, which reads like a traditional book – “Gandhi without tears” – is drawn from a wide range of his reflection on world peace. “It is not that I am incapable of anger, but I succeed on almost all occasions to keep my feelings under control. Such a struggle leaves one stronger for it.

The more I work at this, the more I feel delight in my life, the delight in the scheme of the universe. It gives me a peace and a meaning of the mysteries of nature that I have no power to describe.”
