À propos de ce contenu audio
 In Idiot, the protagonist may seem foolish to his fellow residents at Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog’s home for single gentlemen, but his unconventional creativity proves to be anything but trivial. While they dismiss his insights as nonsense, his unique perspective manages to get under their skin, revealing that sometimes, the most disregarded voices can share the most profound truths. This captivating tale is the first of John Kendrick Bangs Idiot series, originally published by Harper and Brothers in 1895. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

    Inventions of the Idiot (dramatic reading)-John Kendrick Bangs
    Nov 7 2026
    Inventions of the Idiot (dramatic reading) by John Kendrick Bangs.

    "It was before the Idiot's marriage, and in the days when he was nothing more than a plain boarder in Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog's High-class Home for Single Gentlemen, that he put what the School-master termed his "alleged mind" on plans for the amelioration of the condition of the civilized." This humorous story by the editor of Puck magazine describes how the Idiot sets out to improve the lot of civilized man through his inventions - the lot of barbarian man already being well tended to by missionaries and other do-gooders.

    Featured on Idiot.
