Thrift
ISBN: 9781517268077 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is intended as a sequel to "Self-Help," and "Character." It might, indeed, have appeared as an introduction to these volumes; for Thrift is the basis of Self-Help, and the foundation of much that is excellent in Character. The author has already referred to the Use and Abuse of Money; but the lesson is worthy of being repeated and enforced. As he has already observed, -Some of the finest qualities of human nature are intimately related to the right use of money; such as generosity, honesty, justice, and self-denial; as well as the practical virtues of economy and providence. On the...

Character
ISBN: 9781543291162 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a self help book focusing on developing character within ones self. Most of what Smiles writes about is still very relevant to today's character building. This is a great book that deals with lots of aspects in life. Samuel Smiles puts all his knowledge and wisdom in this book in which you feel you are reading "books" not one book. His arguments about the rise and fall of societies are impressive. He shows a deep understanding about the human being which gives his book a soul that will not die. "Character" will help you not only become a better person, but recognize the traits of...

Jasmin
ISBN: 9781515134299 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Excerpt from Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist
My attention was first called to the works of the poet Jasmin by the eulogistic articles which appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes, by De Mazade, Nodier, Villemain, and other well-known reviewers. i afterwards read the articles by Sainte-Beuve, perhaps the finest critic of French literature, on the life and history of Jasmin, in his Portraits Contemporains as well as his admirable article on the same subject in the Causeries du Lundi. While Jasmin was still alive, a translation was published by the American poet Longfellow of... Excerpt from Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist

The Life of George Stephenson, Railway Engineer
ISBN: 9781108052733 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 570 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A political and social reformer, Samuel Smiles (1812 1904) was also a noted biographer in the Victorian period, paying particular attention to engineers. His first biography was of George Stephenson (1781 1848), whom he met at the opening of the North Midland Railway in 1840. After Stephenson died, Smiles wrote a memoir of him for Eliza Cook's Journal. With the permission of Stephenson's son, Robert, this evolved into the first full biography of the great engineer, published in 1857 and reissued here in its revised third edition. This detailed and lively account of Stephenson's life, which...
