Couverture du Oliver Wendell Holmes: The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

This collection of essays, published in 1858, inaugurated a series of similar books that Holmes would publish over the course of his long career. The essays are set in the dining room of a boarding house and feature one-sided humorous perorations by the otherwise unnamed ‘Autocrat’ on a number of subjects from old age to conversation.

A propos de l’auteur

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) was an American physician and author whose essays were published regularly in The Atlantic Monthly—a magazine he named, and which still thrives today. As a doctor, Holmes was an influential early proponent of the germ disease of contagion, and pressed for the training of women and African American physicians.
