Kuhusu (About):

KISWAHILI

Eric Hoffer (1898?-1983) alipata umaarufu na kitabu chake cha kwanza The True Believer (1951). Kabla ya hapo, na baada ya kuchapisha vitabu kadhaa muhimu vya falsafa, aliendelea tabia yake rahisi na aliishi mazingirini ya watu wa wanaofanyakazi. Alikuwa na hamu kubwa kama msomaji na mwandishi, na vitabu vilikuwa, inasemekana, miliki yake pekee.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Eric Hoffer (1898?-1983) became popular with his first book The True Believer (1951). Before that, and during the several philosophical books he later published, he retained his working-class habits and environment. He was a voracious reader and writer, autodidact, and books were, reportedly, his only possession.
