    About this audiobook

    Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774) was an Irish novelist, playwright and poet. In The History of the Man in Black he describes the cynical journey of a generous and benevolent young man from dire pecuniary circumstances to riches, achieved by divesting himself of any moral considerations for others.
