Mintage

Chapter: 11 | Listen: 4

Elbert Hubbard is best known as the author of the “Little Journeys To The Homes of Famous People”. These 11 short stores show the side of him that celebrated caring, friendship love among humans. The first describes how 5 frightened orphan children from a foreign country were cared for on a railroad journey of a thousand miles; all by strangers without any planning and without a word of English being spoken or needed. He observed caring human men and women of all ages doing whatever was necessary to see they reached their destination in whatever comfort could be provided. His famous motto was “The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust and that real life lies in love, laughter and work”. Hubbard     [chương_files]

Not That It Matters

Chapter: 45 | Listen: 4

More of the witty, wry, and deliciously wicked essays and articles written by Milne. Most people know him as the creator of Winnie The Pooh, but he worked for many years as editor of Punch Magazine and these are some of his best. Not That It Matters is a collection of over 40 of these short stories and articles. Not That It Matters collects his columns for Punch, which include poems, essays and short stories, from 1912 to 1920. Most of his writing pokes fun, both gentle and not so gentle at a variety of topics. They vary greatly in length so there should be something for everyone. Milne wrote in a thoroughly British atmosphere and for a thoroughly British audience so some of his references may need a bit of research for those ‘not of the Empire’ (like me) to understand.     [chương_files]

As the title reveals, these stories are a collection of some of Mark Twain’s more fanciful and eccentric works. They run the gamut from political commentary to our species’ need to “be remembered” somehow. Taken as a whole the stories are “whimsical”. Taken individually, they speak the truth in different ways.
