A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Elbert Green Hubbard (1856 –1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. He was an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts movement and is, perhaps, most famous for his essay A Message to Garcia. Owing to his prolific publications, Hubbard was a renowned figure in his day. Contributors to a 360-page book published by Roycrofters and entitled In Memoriam: Elbert and Alice Hubbard included such luminaries as meat-packing magnate J. Ogden Armour, business theorist and Babson College founder Roger Babson, botanist and horticulturalist Luther Burbank, seed-company founder W. Atlee Burpee, ketchup magnate Henry J. Heinz, National Park Service founder Franklin Knight Lane, success writer Orison Swett Marden, inventor of the modern comic strip Richard F. Outcault, poet James Whitcomb Riley, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elihu Root, evangelist Billy Sunday, political leader Booker T. Washington, and poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Hubbard is an ancestor of singer Brodie Foster Hubbard. Another book which was written by Mr. Hubbard is entitled "Health and Wealth". It was published in 1908 and includes many short truisms that are in line with the Truth movement and Transcendentalists concerning using intelligence to rid one of fear and, thus, to bring the body back to health and happiness which leads to true wealth through service to others.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A Message to Garcia is a timeless message. It is a message about teamwork, success, and individual fortitude. George Bernard Shaw poignantly stated “people who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.” A Message to Garcia is an essay of warning for those who say it cannot be done, and a celebration of those who are doing it. From a philosopher and a writer who started as a socialist and eventually became a stalwart defender of enterprise and American know-how - and ultimately flashed from existence on earth as a victim aboard the RMS Lusitania - the message further receives an ordained timeless poignancy.
