Little Journeys to the Homes of Good Men and Great


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(5 stars; 5 reviews)

Elbert Hubbard visits the homes of authors, politicians, poets, philosophers and other prestigious people. If they are still living he speaks with them about their work. If they are dead he reflects on how their surroundings may have influenced them. These short essays are part biography, part interview and part pontification of Hubbard's opinion of the subject and their oeuvre. (8 hr 4 min)
