Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln: The Greatest Man of the Nineteenth Century Professor Charles M. Gayley, the head of the English Department in the University of California, was asked to speak on "The Greatest Book of the Nineteenth Century." He at once excluded all scientific works as not belonging to pure literature. After discussing the merits of various authors he named Goethe´s "Faust" as the greatest literary production of the hundred years. Mr. Fairfax H. Whelan, a business man in San Francisco, was asked to speak on "The Greatest Mechanical Invention of the Nineteenth Century." He surprised us all - and no one knew in advance what choice any one of the four speakers had made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
