图书标签: 传记 Autobiography 美国 BenjaminFranklin Benjamin 英文原版 原版 Franklin
Translated into a dozen languages, printed in hundreds of editions, and read by millions of people, Franklin's autobiography has had an influence perhaps unequalled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, the autobiography offers Franklin's reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success and the status of women. This edition of the autobiography, prepared by the editors of "The Papers of Benjamin Franklin", is drawn with care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In the foreword, Edmund Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English king, and his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.
He is the best demonstration of the old style American dream men -- industrious, lucky, astute, with subtle proudness.
评分13条美德看起来简单,要践行一生绝非易事。自传写得也符合Benjamin的特点,精简不浮夸,不像现在垃圾商业书,其实精华不超过10页但硬生生写个200页。
评分人牛成这样 还挺谦虚
评分第一次读时只觉惊为天人,发愿今后写自传时要以此为标准。后来渐渐意识到,自传是专门写给他叛逆的儿子看的,因此呈现的形象过于完美且单一。
评分我讨厌US HISTORY课本身还有一个原因,由于是本国的历史,所以课程有很强的倾向。比如要求读的书籍,对于我这种认真读一本书会受其很大影响的人,读完这本书几乎都他妈的要成为半个基督徒了呵呵后!不过反思起来大概是英文书的阅读速度比起中文的要慢,所以每次读完一本书穿过了一个世界的感觉更明显一些,Brideshead revisited感觉更明显一些。
