Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence by Manoj Jain
5.0
The book gives a great overview of the life of Mahavira and the origin of Jainism. The religion is presented in a friendly and clear way. The illustrations emphasize the text presented. It describes how it evolved at the same time of Buddhism and explains in a neat way how it differ from it.
The text is easy to follow and it introduces the reader to the religion and key elements of the religion without preaching. It altso briefly describes known and familiar figures that were inspired by Jainism.
As I am interested in religion I found this book very interesting, even though it was for children. Earlier I have studied Buddhism, but i was interested to see what the less famous Jainism was about too. Especially I liked the illustrations that followed each page in the book they were beautiful and also represented the story in an authentic way.
