内容简介A generous selection of writings that brings to life the attractive, complex, and guileful genius of the most celebrated American of his age
It takes a very inclusive anthology to encompass the protean personality and range of interests of Benjamin Franklin, but The Portable Benjamin Franklin succeeds as no collection has. In addition to the complete Autobiography, the volume contains about 100 of Franklins major writings essays, journalism, letters, political tracts, scientific observations, proposals for the improvement of civic and personal life, literary bagatelles, and private musings. The selections are reprinted in their entirety and organized chronologically within six sections that represent the full range of Franklins temperament. The result is a zestful read for Franklin scholars and anyone wanting to know and enjoy this American icon. |
