About the Author
Napoleon Hill was born in poverty in Virginia in 1883 where he started working as a journalist for small newspapers. In 1908 he wrote a series of articles about rich and famous men which proved to be a turning point in his career. Hill was already obsessed with solving the enigma of laws of personal success when he met Andrew Carnegie, the great American businessman of his era. Not only did Carnegie offered him an insight into his methodology of success but also introduced him to Henry Ford who in turn introduced him to other great men of his time including Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. Hill interviewed at length 500 successful men and women and was able to write many books on the theme of personal success including his multi volume work The Law of Success and Think and Grow Rich, one of the bestselling business self help books of all time. He also acted as an advisor to Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. He died a famous and rich man in 1970.

Books, Classic, Fictions, PhilosphyThus Spoke Zarathustra ,(Reading Classic): Writer: Friedrich Nietzsche
About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a cultural critic. He was born on October 15, 1844, in Rocken, Saxony, Kingdom of Prussia. His works criticise the traditional European morality, religious values as well as conventional philosophical ideas associated with modernity. He is often seen as a predecessor to late modern thinkers like Marx and Freud, because of his psychological analyses of false consciousness. He proposed many original theories positing an alternative morality and ideas which would bring forth a cultural renewal. His notable works include The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music (1872), The Gay Science (1882), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–5), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), On the Genealogy of Morality (1887), Twilight of the Idols (1888) and The Wagner Case (1888). In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental breakdown. Eleven years later, he died on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, German Empire.
