Gandhi
Lifelines
Text by Mahatma Gandhi
Illustrated and edited by Béatrice Tanaka

"Gandhi was inevitable.… He lived, thought, and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore him at our own risk." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Without question Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. His principles of nonviolence and passive resistance, his compassion, his steadfast determination in achieving political and social reform have influenced countless leaders and activists throughout the world.

And now, for the first time, Four Walls Eight Windows has published a beautifully illustrated, inspirational book featuring quotes from Gandhi, culled by illustrator/editor Béatrice Tanaka, on a variety of subjects, including wealth, love, work, and religion, to name a few — all of which are as pertinent today as the day they were written. Every spread includes not only Gandhi's sage words but Béatrice Tanaka's striking black-and-white illustrations, all of which were created for this volume.

Gandhi: Lifelines brings together glorious illustrations and the words of an unparalleled leader in a beautifully designed package. In keeping with the spirit of Gandhi, the author will give one-third of her royalties and the publisher a percentage of the retail price to the Navijivan Trust — Gandhi's estate — in India. The funds will be used, in the words of the Trust, to lift the downtrodden.

Béatrice Tanaka is the author and illustrator of some forty children's books, including Green Tales, published by Four Walls Eight Windows. She has twice received the Beau Livre award, given to the creators of the 50 most beautiful books of the year in France.
