The Magic Story: Updated (Refurbished Books)

About Refurbished Booksâ„¢

There is a treasure trove of buried wisdom that is almost entirely unknown. The trove is found in a number of books, mainly written between the 1880s and the 1930s, that formed the foundation of today’s self-help book explosion. Many of these books are classics, containing profound, timeless—and too often forgotten—wisdom.

The reason these books are forgotten is not a mystery: although their ideas are ageless and life changing, the passage of time from when they were first published can make them quite hard to read. Flowery language, outdated words, style from another era, occasionally sexist and even racist language, and now-obscure references all make reading them something of a slog. As a result, these books are gathering dust on our collective memory, remembered by only a few. This is a travesty, since there is so much value in them.

Refurbished Booksâ„¢ bring these classical masterpieces back to life by making them digestible and accessible to modern readers. Each Refurbished book tracks the original work, keeping all that is valuable but editing it to be better geared to the modern reader. In a way, Refurbished books are a translation, for today, from the era in which the original was written. Refurbished Booksâ„¢ allows us to recapture the forgotten wisdom and regain the lost treasures of those who came before us.

About the Magic Story (1900)

Described by Google Books as “One of the greatest inspirational classics of all time,” The Magic Story tells the story of a starving artist who came upon the secret to success.” Everyone who hears the story, no matter how beaten down or in despair they were before, immediately “turns it all around” and prospers.
