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.

圖書標籤: 傳記 Autobiography 美國 BenjaminFranklin Benjamin 英文原版 原版 Franklin
第一次讀時隻覺驚為天人,發願今後寫自傳時要以此為標準。後來漸漸意識到,自傳是專門寫給他叛逆的兒子看的,因此呈現的形象過於完美且單一。
評分實用主義世界觀的典型,果然區彆於盧梭這樣的苦逼哲學傢與奧古斯丁這樣的宗教狂熱分子,國傢領袖就是有國傢領袖的氣度啊 - -
評分第二遍 前一個版本太差
評分giant!
評分在老婆的推薦下看的。個人曆史當中穿插著很多思考,非常受用。不過最後10頁又一點迷失在各種人物和政治關係當中瞭。。另外古英語讀起來很帶感。
