von Samuel Smiles · 25 Teile · about 13 hours 51 minutes Lesezeit

Hallo, ich bin Finn, und ich helfe dir, dieses Buch zu verstehen.

Hier ist es, erklärt, als wärst du 10 Jahre alt:

George Stephenson konnte erst mit achtzehn Jahren lesen. Dann baute er die Eisenbahnen. Samuel Smiles erzählt die Geschichte von George und von seinem Sohn Robert, von den Brücken über die Menai Strait und den Conway, von der Rocket und den großen Kämpfen im Parlament, in der Biografie, die das viktorianische Britannien lehrte, Ingenieure zu bewundern. Es ist ein langes, erfüllendes Leben voller Arbeit, und es machte Selbsthilfe zu einem Wort in jedem Haushalt.
