An Autobiography by Jawaharlal Nehru (SPECIAL NEHRU LIBRARY EDITION)

NEHRU LIBRARY SPECIAL EDITION

First published in 1936, and now available in a centenary edition, this book was written by Nehru almost entirely in prison from June 1934 to February 1935. His account, though replete with autobiographical details, is much more than a personal document; in the words of Rabindranath Tagore, "Through all its details there runs a deep current of humanity which overpasses the tangles of facts and leads us to the person who is greater than his deeds, and truer than his surroundings."

P.S. Beware of pirated copies of important books (with missing sections) circulating online.
