Beschreibung
First published in 1859, "Self-Help" was the first book by reformist Scottish journalist Samuel Smiles and it is considered his masterpiece.
"Self-Help" promoted thrift and claimed that poverty was caused largely by irresponsible habits, while also attacking materialism and
laissez-faire government. A bestseller immediately after its publication, "Self-Help" propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance, being called "
the bible of mid-Victorian liberalism".
