Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, in a small coastal town in India, which at the time belonged to UK.

He was the smallest of his family, his father died when he was a few years of age, and his mother when he was teenager. He is married when he was 13 years with Kastur Kapadia, who would accompany to him in its route the greatest part of his life. Later, he went to London and got to be a lawyer.

Later, he went to South Africa, where it would begin to forge as the leader of the people and to fight against racism that existed in the country. Even, he came to have its own newspaper.

When he returned to the India, he would begin a long trip by his country to see the situation of poverty and differences that the India suffered. One of his best-known performances was the March of the salt, which toured 230 km to pick up salt, a symbolic event, because the salt belonged to the English government.

Later, he made a small trip to England to talk to the British Government, he met people as Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw or many factory workers.

Later, he was imprisoned unfairly. When finally UK allowed the independence to the India in 1947, with Gandhi already out of prison, it began to cause a painful and severe conflicts between the Hindu and the Muslims, these recent related with Pakistan. Gandhi was very important to achieve the peace. In 1948, Gandhi is killed by a fanatic, when he was 78 years.

Gandhi has been and is an example for the world of fight by the people right’s, by the fight against the racism, and by the fight by the peace.

The book is a complete biography about Gandhi’ life.

Mohandas Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, province of Gujarat, when India belonged to the British Empire.

He was the younger of the family, he had two brothers and one sister. His family was Hindu.

His family moved to Raijkot when he was 7 and began to go to the school.

In 1882, he got married with Kastur Kapadia, who was 13 too.

In 1885, his father died.

When he finished the school, he wanted to go to London to study law there.

His brother Laxamidas gave the money to him and in 1888 he left to study.

He finished his studies in 1891 and returned to India. When he returned, he noticed that his mother had dead.

Mohandas went to Bombay to work, but he didn’t have luck and came back to Raijkot.

In 1893, he went to Durban to work, South Africa, which belonged to the British Empire too.

There, he met to Abdullah Sheth, who sent him to Pletoria to do a work.

When he was travelling on the train, a white passenger requested that he let his first-class site, Gandhi refused and was ejected with his luggage.

After that, he decided to fight against racism.

He began to bring together all the Hindus of South Africa, to talk of unfair laws to combat the racism with the principle of non-violence, was temporarily imprisoned, he helped to found a newspaper where he wrote weekly.
He managed to form a large movement of people who wanted to put an end to racism. Also, they suffered major episodes of violence.
In 1915 he returned to India and he was received as a true hero. He travelled throughout India to understand better the reality of the whole India.
The objective was to end the unfair British government, but always respecting the principle of non-violence.
In 1930 he walked 380 kilometers to organize the March of the salt, in which the Hindu began to extract salt.
In 1942, while the Second world war, Gandhi was sent to prison.
In 1945, with a new Government of United Kingdom, he left the jail and began the negotiations for an independent India. That was materialized in 1947.
Subsequently, the clashes between Hindus and Muslims led to the partition of India into two parts: one hindu and one Muslim, Pakistan.
In 1948, he was killed in front a crowd of people by a young man who shot him with a gum.
Today, Gandhi’s legacy continues and is an example for everyone and reference of other movements such as the Martin Luther King.

The principal character of the book is Gandhi who was an important thinker and politician, he has gone down in history as a great pacifist. Gandhi was born in Porbandar (India), he married very young, he was very influencied by his parents, and he went to London so as to study law, but his first experience being a lawyer wasn't successful.

In the place where he lived, in India, there was a lot of racism and discrimination, so he created the Natal Indian Congress whose aim was fighting for just laws. He took part in the Boar War as a member of the Ambulance Corps. In 1915, he returned to India, as a popular hero, where he continued promulgating his religious and moral values. An important information is the fact that he was sent to prison, but released early beacause of an illness. Gandhi started a campaign to avoid the salt tax, because of that, he met many admires. During the Second World War, Gandhi demanded the independence of India, which was granted in 1947. He was assesinated by a hindu extremist who was against peaceful relations with muslims. I believe that he had a tragic death because he tried to avoid the violence between hindus and muslims, furthermore he fighted for the equality of human beings.

Nowadays, Gandhi continues being in our hearts, so his soul hasn’t died.

I have just read Andrea´s summary, I think it´s great because she has explained the synopsis with details. I like the way she talks about the characters. I will read Andrea's book, because it seems interesting.

Mohandas Gandhi was born on 2 October in 1869 in Porbandar, India. He was married as soon as he was thirteen. Then his father dead, he decided to study law in England. After his studies he came back to practise law in Bombay but he wasn´t success and he decided to went to Natal, South Africa, where he could see the differents between the people white and Africans or Indians and realised that he should fight in order to put out the injustice. So he decided to created a political party to eliminate the inequality and defend the Hindu´s rights. During the Second World War, Gandhi demanded the independence of India, and finally at 1947 India was liberated of the Britishers, but few  months later he was murder by Nathuran Godse who was extreme - right and hated Gandhi´s beliefs.
Some years later this man continues being considered like the model of peace.

Mahatma Gandhi was an indian lawyer, thinker and political of the XIX and XX century, mainly known for claim and take the independence of India through non-violence.
He was born in Porbandar on October in 1869. His mum was a very important influence for him because he learnt the respect to others living beings and respect for other people´s opinion. When he was eighteen years old, he moved house to London to study law in the University College London. Then he returned to Bombay to work like lawyer without success. But he went to Sudafrica excited for the fight with non-violence
against the discrimination of hindu people. That´s why Gandhi created an indian political party which defend their rights. Gandhi solved the conflict with the South African leader. In 1915 he returned to India where he was declaring his values and after years of fights, India obtained the independence and a few months later, Gandhi was a murder victim by Nathuram Godse, who was an extreme-right related with the government in 1948. His death was a historical fact.

In my opinion the Mario's summary is a good vision of the book because he has written all the important things of the story. I read that book last year and it's so excited because there is a mistery in each page.

In this book, which is chilling and misterious, we present the following main characters: Arthur Kipps, the young solicitor of the Drablow's family case. Alice Drablow was the sister of the woman in black, the Jennet Humfrye ghost, who give her baby Nathaniel to Alice whether Jennet like it or not. Charles Drablow was the husband of Alice. Nicholas Daily, also affected by the woman, advise to Arthur of the tragic moments in the Eel Marsh House and the marshes. Finally, I would add Spider, the Daily's dog, who is the Arthur accompanying at the last days around the marshes, nearly drowned.
This story was setting in England, London and it all started in a house where Arthur was going to share with the children a terror history, or better said, him terror story. The story was narrated by the young solicitor who is in charge of read the Mrs. Drablow papers in the Eel Marsh House, where strange things are going on. Arthur listened the sound of a mysterious carriage from the marshes, also a kid crying, noises from everywhere and all of this make him sad and crazy. He left the house because he was scared, and he wanted to tell to him senior what happen in these house, but the senior ignore him. A days later he return to the house to solve the mystery, but now with Spider. He saw the darkness in the woman in black eyes and how the Nathaniel room was messy, but nobody did anything. Sometimes he felt the woman in black around him body and the sense left him torn apart. He knew she was there. He decided left the house and saw the Mr Drablow papers in the Daily's house, good and safe.
The conflict of Arthur was find out all about the woman in black and why she is not resting in peace.
The resolution was terrible. After a long and happy time, the Arthur's wife, Stella and their son suffered an accident. The ghost appeared in front of the ponny, the animal got scared and the carriage where they were riding, was crashed. Their son was dead because of the woman in black, and then she disappeared.
The book was very good, because the resolution leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
