Geronimo’s Story of His Life
Author: Geronimo
Format: PDF
Category: Biography
DOWNLOAD
This ebook is the autobiography of the Chiricahua Apache medicine man and leader Geronimo. Geronimo (1829-1909) was a war leader who waged numerous campaigns against both Mexico and the United States in Arizona and Northern Mexico. Geronimo had a particular dislike of Mexicans which stemmed in part from an 1858 raid on his camp which killed many of his followers, including his wife, children, and mother.
After decades of fighting, Geronimo was one of the last American Indian leaders to surrender to the United States (1886). He was a prisoner of war, but late in life he became a celebrity, visiting the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis and riding in Teddy Roosevelt’s inaugural parade in 1905.

There are certain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind; and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of their history, that he may know, in brief, what it was in their characters or their doings which has given them so widely-extended a fame. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected; and it has been the writer’s aim to present the prominent and leading traits in their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language which is so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness.

Beethoven: the Man and the Artist, as Revealed in his own Words
Author: Ludwig van Beethoven
Format: PDF
Category: Biography
DOWNLOAD
This book came into existence as if it were by chance. The author had devoted himself for a long time to the study of Beethoven and carefully scrutinized all manner of books, publications, manuscripts, etc., in order to derive the greatest possible information about the hero. He can say confidently that he conned every existing publication of value. His notes made during his readings grew voluminous, and also his amazement at the wealth of Beethoven’s observations comparatively unknown to his admirers because hidden away, like concealed violets, in books which have been long out of print and for whose reproduction there is no urgent call. These observations are of the utmost importance for the understanding of Beethoven, in whom man and artist are inseparably united.

Goethe’s other well-known literary works include his numerous poems, the Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship and the epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther.
The Autobiography of Charles Darwin
Author: Charles Darwin
Format: PDF
Category: Biography
DOWNLOAD
Charles Darwin’s Autobiography was first published in 1887, five years after his death. It was a bowdlerized edition: Darwin’s family, attempting to protect his posthumous reputation, had deleted all the passages they considered too personal or controversial. The present complete edition did not appear until 1959, one hundred years after the publication of The Origin of Species. Upon its appearance, Loren Eiseley wrote:
„No man can pretend to know Darwin who does not know his autobiography. Here, for the first time since his death, it is presented complete and unexpurgated, as it exists in the family archives. It will prove invaluable to biographers and cast new light on the personality of one of the world’s greatest scientists. Nora Barlow, Darwin’s granddaughter, has proved herself a superb editor. Her own annotations make fascinating reading.”
The daring and restless mind, the integrity and simplicity of Darwin’s character are revealed in this direct and personal account of his life—his family, his education, his explorations of the natural world, his religion and philosophy. The editor has provided page and line references to the more important restored passages, and previously unpublished notes and letters on family matters and on the controversy between Samuel Butler appear in an appendix.
The Life of Buddha and Its Lessons

„The joy that he brought to the hearts of others, Buddha first tasted himself. He found that the pleasures of the eye, the ear, the taste, touch and smell are fleeting and deceptive: he who gives value to them brings only disappointment and bitter sorrow upon himself. The social differences between men he found were equally arbitrary and illusive; caste bred hatred and selfishness; riches strife, envy and malice. So in founding his Faith he laid the bottom of its foundation-stones upon all this worldly dirt, and its dome in the clear serene of the world of Spirit. He who can mount to a clear conception of Nirvana will find his thought far away above the common joys and sorrows of petty men. As to one who ascends to the top of Chimborazo or the Himalayan crags, and sees men on the earth’s surface crawling to and fro like ants, so equally small do bigots and sectarians a…”
