To portray life as it should be. This was writer Anton Chekhov’s purpose, and nothing deflected him from it. Through writing, Chekhov, who was born in 1832, illustrated the miseries of life around him in order to point to a better life ahead.

Despite a short creative life spanning over less than two decades, Chekhov managed to secure his status as one of the greatest contributors to world literature. Known as the master of the short story, his work continues to inspire to this day.

On this day in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. Gandhi was one of the most important figures of the 20th century. It is impossible to discuss the subject of tolerance today without referring to the thought and action of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), known to the world as Mahatma ("great soul"). Gandhi was the foremost leader of the Indian independence movement employing non-violent disobedience. His thoughts and teachings are a source of inspiration for those who believe that the path to a better world is Peace. Gandhi's birthday, 2 October, is commemorated worldwide as the International Day of Non-violence.

On this occasion we would like to share with you some articles about Gandhi and a book written by Gandhi himselfi:
