A Message to Garcia - Being a Preachment

Elbert Hubbard

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "A Message to Garcia," Elbert Hubbard presents a clarion call for individual initiative and self-reliance, wrapped in a succinct narrative that emphasizes the virtues of decisiveness and responsibility. Written in 1899, this essay blends a compelling anecdote about the Spanish-American War with Hubbard's fervent philosophy of effective action. The work is notable for its direct and conversational style, encouraging readers to eschew excuses in favor of proactive problem-solving. Through the tale of Lieutenant Rowan's mission to deliver a critical message to General Garcia, Hubbard advocates for the importance of taking initiative without waiting for guidance or hand-holding. Elbert Hubbard was an influential American writer, publisher, and philosopher whose ideas were emblematic of the early 20th-century movement toward individualism and self-improvement. A founder of the Roycroft artisan community, Hubbard's own experiences as a businessman and thinker shape the motivational tone of "A Message to Garcia," as he sought to inspire others to transcend mediocrity and embrace their capabilities. His disdain for bureaucracy and reliance on personal accountability resonates throughout this work, making it a staple in motivational literature. Readers seeking inspiration to take responsibility for their actions and to cultivate their own initiative will find Hubbard's essay invaluable. Its concise yet powerful message transcends time, urging contemporary audiences to become self-starters and champions of their own destinies. "A Message to Garcia" serves not just as a motivational piece, but as a timeless reminder of the impact one individual can have through assertive action.

The Entrepreneurs - The...

Derek Lidow

As far back as we can trace human history, there have been entrepreneurs. Almost five millennia ago, copper tool manufacturers set up a factory in what today is southwest Spain, profiting for hundreds of years from trade around the Mediterranean. Papyri document the diverse investments of an ancient Egyptian businessperson, from grain-yielding land to flax for linen cloth. What do these figures have in common with renowned modern entrepreneurs, and how do their similarities help us achieve a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship as well as the potential for a healthier, wealthier, and more equitable and sustainable future?

Marvel Comics - The Untold Story

Sean Howe

A behind-the-scenes chronicle of a beloved American media empire and the men behind it, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby.  
 
A New York Times–Bestseller 
 
“A definitive portrait of comics in American culture.” —The Wall Street Journal 
 
In the early 1960s, a struggling company called Marvel Comics presented a cast of brightly costumed characters distinguished by smart banter and compellingly human flaws: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men. Over the course of a half a century, Marvel’s epic universe would become the most elaborate fiction narrative in history and serve as a modern American mythology for millions of readers. 
 
For the first time, Marvel Comics reveals the outsized personalities behind the scenes, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and generations of editors, artists, and writers who struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and—over matters of credit and control—one another. Marvel Comics is a story of fertile imaginations, lifelong friendships, action-packed fistfights, and third-act betrayals—a narrative of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and beleaguered pop-culture entities in America’s history. 
 
“Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdoes changed the world . . . That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.” —Jonathan Lethem
