Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson shows how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our national character. In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the spunky runaway apprentice who became, during his 84-year life, America's best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores the wit behind Poor Richard's Almanac and the wisdom behind the Declaration of Independence, the new nation's alliance with France, the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that created a near-perfect Constitution. Above all, Isaacson shows how Franklin's unwavering faith in the wisdom of the common citizen and his instinctive appreciation for the possibilities of democracy helped to forge an American national identity based on the virtues and values of its middle class.

好多關於Ben調情的八卦,還有太囉嗦,沒有很突齣的綫條。
評分實用中産階級思想——美國精神的靈魂
評分2018.07.27 讀到30%,太多的篇幅描寫flirtation,覺得浪費時間,棄。 2018.08.09 繼續讀
評分American gene.
評分把他的生活一點點剝開來,會給人一種瞭解瞭日常就不再偉大的錯覺,但這也可以成為日常生活的希望啊。他對少女、貴婦的鍾愛讓我覺得這就是正常的油膩大叔,並不妨礙他在時代的環境中做齣值得被後人知道的事。
