Benjamin Franklin was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher. He helped with the founding of the United States of America and changed the world with his discoveries about electricity. His writings such as Poor Richards' Almanac have provided wisdom for 17 years to the colonies.
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.

能在如此眾多方麵作齣成就也隻有富蘭剋林一人瞭
评分人牛成這樣 還挺謙虛
评分13條美德看起來簡單,要踐行一生絕非易事。自傳寫得也符閤Benjamin的特點,精簡不浮誇,不像現在垃圾商業書,其實精華不超過10頁但硬生生寫個200頁。
评分圖書館藉的 好多無意義的細節描寫 總體來說還不錯 做瞭兩頁摘抄。B.F對自己做的日程錶和吾日三省吾身好像啊
评分讀過他的傳記再讀他的自傳多多少少覺得有點搞笑
