Translated by Mahadev Desai
The first edition of Gandhiji's Autobiography was published in two volumes,
Vol. I in 1927 and Vol. II in 1929. The original in Gujarati which was priced at
Re. 1/- has run through five editions, nearly 50,000 copies having been sold.
The price of the English translation (only issued in library edition) was
prohibitive for the Indian reader, and a cheap edition has long been needed.
