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.

评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。
评分He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.
评分覺得無聊吧,第一次沒讀完,這次讀瞭不到一半還是讀不下去瞭,就這樣吧
评分文筆很好 老先生照片能上美元 果然及不平凡的 學習他的勤奮!可是也在質疑他過分功力的心理 看到後來情節變得很無聊。。裏麵的幾大訓誡倒是很好
