Autoren-Porträt von Elbert Hubbard
Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) was an influential American writer, philosopher, and artist who played a pivotal role in the Arts and Crafts movement with his establishment of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York. Renowned for his colorful and often pithy prose, Hubbard penned numerous essays, aphorisms, and books in which he advocated for social reform, the dignity of labor, and the beauty of artisanship. One such work is 'The Roycroft Dictionary, Concocted by Ali Baba and the Bunch on Rainy Days', a whimsical and satirical lexicon that reflects the wit and idiosyncratic outlook that permeate his oeuvre. Hubbard's literary style is characterized by its conversational tone, accessibility, and use of humor to distill complex ideas into approachable wisdom. His works, including 'A Message to Garcia', resonated deeply with the contemporary reader, capturing the entrepreneurial and individualistic spirit of early 20th-century America. Remembered as much for his distinctive life philosophy as for his contributions to literature and the arts, Hubbard's legacy is that of a quintessential American iconoclast, whose work continues to inspire long after his untimely death aboard the RMS Lusitania during World War I.
