Gandhi: A Manga Biography
THE INSPIRING LIFE STORY OF A TRUE TWENTIETH-CENTURY HERO
Through his quietly powerful leadership and influential use of nonviolent resistance in India's struggle against the British Raj, Mahatma Gandhi became one of the most revered figures of the modern era. While history has recorded Gandhi's words and deeds, the man himself has been eclipsed by maxims of virtuosity that seem to have little resonance in our everyday lives. In Gandhi, award-winning manga artist Kazuki Ebine combines a gripping narrative with stunning illustrations to re-create the life of a man who-like all of us-grappled with doubt and failure, but strove to keep faith in his beliefs and lead his people to a better life. Gandhi's inspiring and deeply human story will appeal to a whole new generation of readers.

Gandhi: A Manga Biography
Kazuki Ebine. Penguin, $15 trade paper (p) ISBN
Younger readers in particular will enjoy this lucid survey of Gandhi’s life and teachings. Beginning with the awkward boy who recognized the unfairness of India’s caste system but was too shy to speak against it in public, the book shows him seeking ways to correct injustice without resorting to violence. There’s plenty of conflict in the world around the young man as different social classes abuse each other; Muslims and Hindus use religion as an excuse to hate their neighbors; and the colonial authorities unscrupulously exploit these divisions. Rather than taking sides, Gandhi tries to teach universal principles of fairness, turning to civil disobedience only to remind adversaries of their common humanity—tactics later borrowed by the American civil rights movement. Ebine’s treatment of this story respects Gandhi’s consistent, stubborn belief that people could learn to live together peacefully. The resulting comic is sometimes bland, with stiff art and infelicitous wording, but the message survives. (Sept.)
