Autobiography

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.
