The Life of George Stephenson and of His Son Robert Stephenson

yazan Samuel Smiles · 25 bölüm · about 13 hours 51 minutes okuma

Merhaba, benim adım Finn ve bu kitabı anlamana yardım edeceğim.

İşte, 10 yaşındaymışsın gibi anlatılmış hâli:

George Stephenson on sekiz yaşına kadar okuyamadı. Sonra demiryollarını inşa etti. Samuel Smiles, George'un ve oğlu Robert'ın hikayesini anlatır: Menai Boğazı ve Conway üzerindeki köprüler, Rocket, parlamentodaki büyük mücadeleler. Bu biyografi Viktorya Britanyası'na mühendislere hayran olmayı öğretti. Uzun ve doyurucu bir çalışma hayatıdır ve kendi kendine yardımı herkesin bildiği bir söz haline getirdi.
