Excerpt from How I Carried the Message to GarciaMillions of people have been inspired ad enriched by the writings of Elbert Hubbard. The Message to Garcia was one of his early writings. It would be hard to estimate just how much good that wonderful booklet has done. Suffice to say that the need was felt for such commonsense philosophy and the Message To Garcia, filled that need, acquiring momentum as it went on its way, until nearly one hundred million copies have been circulated, having been printed in every language in use today.Elbert Hubbard was one of the greatest intellectual giants of modern times, - indeed of any time. His influence penetrated humanity leaving a throb of inspiration and a prescription for happiness to all whom his philosophy reached. He knew the shortcomings, the faults and the failings of human nature. He met them with sensible advice and encouragement. His keen insight and great heartedness, combined with the unusual ability to express himself simply and sincerely were his resources at hand, - no other pen inspired and instructed so well.Hubbard was unquestionably America's most brilliant and able writer. His "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great" are the masterpieces that the world recognizes and acknowledges as the work of a genius. In them Hubbard put his best self. He gives a closeup view of the greatest men and women of all times, - not in the dry uninteresting biographical style, but in his own inimitable style, packed with wisdom, wit and inspiration, with touches of satire here and there but always full of kindness and good cheer. They seemed to have been written for people who think, - who want to think.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
