描述
Read about the fascinating life of Benjamin Franklin, prolific philosopher, inventor, and Founding Father of the United States, in this beautifully illustrated version of his autobiography.
American icon Benjamin Franklin is known for many things : he published the famous Poor Richard's Almanack , helped found the world-famous University of Pennsylvania, and was the first Postmaster General of the United States. His iconography is everywhere. His likeness adorns, among other things, the United States' hundred-dollar bill. Franklin was a wildly intriguing personality , as his autobiography makes plain. From his hoarding of his pay as a teenager to buy books , to his disapproval of habits like drinking beer, from his work as a printer, to his experiments with electricity , this is the story of Franklin's life—told as only he could tell it—in the years before the American Revolution.
Benjamin Franklin's writings represent a career of literary , scientific , and political efforts which extended nearly the entire eighteenth century and the birth of the United States. This heavily illustrated version of Franklin's autobiography includes his reflections on diverse questions such as philosophy and religion, social status, electricity, American national characteristics, war, and the status of women.
A classic in the American canon , Franklin's autobiography is a must-read for any serious student of American history.

备用描述
Few men could compare to Benjamin Franklin. Virtually self-taught, he excelled as an athlete, a man of letters, a printer, a scientist, a wit, an inventor, an editor, and a writer, and he was probably the most successful diplomat in American history. David Hume hailed him as the first great philosopher and great man of letters in the New World.
Written initially to guide his son, Franklin's autobiography is a lively, spellbinding account of his unique and eventful life. Stylistically his best work, it has become a classic in world literature, one to inspire and delight readers everywhere.
