Samuel Smiles Bücher

Das Buch beleuchtet Samuel Smiles, einen schottischen Autor, der für sein einflussreiches Werk "Self-Help" bekannt ist, das viktorianische Werte wie Fleiß und persönliche Verantwortung fördert. Seine nachfolgenden Schriften, darunter "Character", "Thrift" und "Duty", vertiefen diese Themen und plädieren für Selbstverbesserung und moralische Integrität. Smiles' Beiträge spiegeln das Ethos der Zeit wider und betonen die Bedeutung von Fleiß und Charakter für den Erfolg.

In dieser Arbeit von Samuel Smiles wird das Wesen der persönlichen Entwicklung untersucht, indem die Eigenschaften beleuchtet werden, die einen starken Charakter formen. Durch biografische Skizzen bemerkenswerter Persönlichkeiten veranschaulicht Smiles, wie moralisches Verhalten, persönliche Verantwortung und harte Arbeit zum Erfolg beitragen. Er betont das viktorianische Ideal der Selbstverbesserung und argumentiert, dass der Charakter durch individuelle Entscheidungen und nicht durch äußere Faktoren geprägt wird. Dieser zeitlose Leitfaden ermutigt die Leser, über ihre Werte nachzudenken und in ihrem persönlichen und beruflichen Leben nach Resilienz und Integrität zu streben.

'The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual; and, exhibited in the lives of many, it constitutes the true source of national vigour and strength.' A bestseller immediately after its publication in 1859, Self-Help propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Interpreted by some as a paean to personal avarice, Smiles's most celebrated book is in fact a practical and engaging tribute to the working- and lower-middle classes, in whom he identified the capacity for self-improvement and for whom he tirelessly advocated the right of social advancement. Part practical guide, part proverbial testament, part secular hagiography, this literary hybrid turns biography into an inspirational medium that awakens readers to their own potential and instils the desire to succeed. Smiles's book is the precursor of today's motivational and self-help literature, although its vision is significantly more cosmopolitan than that of most books in a still-expanding genre. This edition includes a fully indexed glossary to the more than 750 names discussed by Smiles.
