LibriVox recording of Little Journeys to the Homes of Good Men and Great, by Elbert Hubbard.
Read in English by Mike Pelton; Lynne Thompson; Garth Burton; ToddHW; Luke Sartor; KHand; Denise Nordell; Erin Schellhase; TriciaG.
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.
In this volume he reflects on his own life, as well as on those of George Eliot, Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, William E. Gladstone, J.M.W. Turner, Jonathan Swift, Walt Whitman, Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, William M. Thackeray, Charles Dickens, Oliver Goldsmith, William Shakespeare and Thomas A. Edison.

Subject: The visit with Thomas A. Edison
Subject: The visit with Thomas A. Edison
Extremely informative. Edison reveals his thoughts on his success as an inventor. He submits his secrets. Force the brain to think and understand how things work. Have a basic knowledge of life through reading, but learn by solving problems. Work until the problem is solved and accept failures. Trust only a few, avoid looking at the clock (all clocks in the West Orange Factory were stopped) and reward your help with adequate salaries. Edison interviewed by Elbert Hubbard at his West Orange factory when Edison was 66 in 1913.
