About this audiobook
These essays were written over ninety five years ago, most of their subjects do not exist anymore. Despite this, the essays appear fresh, because the author's commentary about human nature, his observations about people, their thoughts, emotions are very perceptive and are true even today. While circumstances change, human nature does not change within just a hundred year. (Amazon)
