Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist

"Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist" is a tribute to the life of a remarkable man that lived in 19th-century France and was more than an extraordinary personality. Jasmin was a Gascon poet, born in the southern town of Agen, and a professional barber. His poetry, especially his readings, had great success and brought much money, which he used entirely for philanthropy. He lived on what he made as a barber and spent the rest in hospitals, orphanages, and needy people.
