About this listen

 Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, one of the most eloquent orators of his time and a personal friend of Mark Twain and General Grant, begins his exploration of influential figures with a powerful tribute to genius. He asserts, It is hard to overstate the debt we owe to the men and women of genius. In this compelling lecture, Ingersoll delves into the lives of iconic personalities such as Shakespeare, Robert Burns, Abraham Lincoln, Voltaire, and Walt Whitman. He also presents thought-provoking discussions on topics like The Great Infidels, Which Way? (Science or Superstition), and About the Holy Bible. This audiobook features selections from the 12-volume Dresden Edition, including two enlightening lectures from Volume 1 on Humboldt and Thomas Paine, available on Librivox as part of an engaging series.
