About this audiobook
"Philanthropy" is the story of a man who is approached by a drunken couple with a sob story, hoping to scrounge some money from him. The experience causes him to explore the underlying motivation for his habitual philanthropy and discover that it is not as altruistic as he had supposed.
John Galsworthy
John Galsworthy was a Nobel-Prize (1932) winning English dramatist, novelist, and poet born to an upper-middle class family in Surrey, England. He attended Harrow and trained as a barrister at New College, Oxford. Although called to the bar in 1890, rather than practise law, Galsworthy travelled extensively and began to write. It was as a playwright Galsworthy had his first success. His plays—like his most famous work, the series of novels comprising The Forsyte Saga—dealt primarily with class and the social issues of the day, and he was especially harsh on the class from which he himself came.
