مصنف کے بارے میں

Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) was a Scottish author and government reformer, widely recognized for his promotion of self-help and individual responsibility. His works transcended literary boundaries to become iconic in the arenas of self-improvement and social philosophy. Born on December 23, 1812, in Haddington, East Lothian, Smiles pursued a career in medicine after graduating from the University of Edinburgh but soon shifted his focus towards journalism and political reform. A prolific writer, Smiles is most renowned for his 1859 book 'Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character and Conduct,' which laid the groundwork for the self-help literary genre and is considered a seminal work in Victorian literature. However, his oeuvre includes an array of historical and biographical works, reflecting his belief in the instructive power of history. Among these is 'The Huguenots in France' (1867), wherein Smiles delves into the history of the French Protestants, detailing their struggles and the influences of their character, industry, and faith on society. This piece is a testament to his literary style that often illuminates the triumph of perseverance and moral integrity against adversity. Smiles's influence extended beyond his many publications, as his ideas on self-reliance and the ethic of hard work became ingrained in Victorian culture and, by extension, the broader capitalist ethos of the 19th and 20th centuries. His works continue to be referenced for their contribution to the understanding of Victorian society and the development of the self-help movement.
