A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Russell H. Conwell (1843-1925) was an American minister, lawyer, lecturer, journalist, philanthropist, and founder of Temple University. Born in Massachusetts, he served in the Union Army during the Civil War, later worked in law and journalism, and became widely known as a Baptist minister and public speaker. His most famous lecture, Acres of Diamonds, was delivered thousands of times and became one of the best-known inspirational addresses in American public life.Conwell's work joined religious seriousness, practical ambition, education, service, and civic improvement. The proceeds from his lectures helped support educational opportunities for working people, and Temple University grew out of his belief that ambition and learning should not be reserved for the privileged. Acres of Diamonds remains his defining work: a compact classic of opportunity, self-reliance, prosperity, practical wisdom, and the belief that useful work begins by recognising the possibilities already nearby.
