Om författaren
One of 17 children, Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He ended his formal education at the age of 10 and began working as an apprentice at a newspaper. Running away to Philadelphia at 17, he worked for a printer, later opening his own print shop. Franklin was a man of many visa mer talents and interests. As a writer, he published a colonial newspaper and the well-known Poor Richard's Almanack, which contains his famous maxims. He authored many political and economic works, such as The Way To Wealth and Journal of the Negotiations for Peace. He is responsible for many inventions, including the Franklin stove and bifocal eyeglasses. He conducted scientific experiments, proving in one of his most famous ones that lightning and electricity were the same. As a politically active citizen, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence and lobbied for the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. He also served as ambassador to France. He died in April of 1790 at the age of 84. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

Autobiography and Selected Writings av Benjamin Franklin
I kinda think everybody should read this. But than, I am a big Franklin fan.
This is a book all Americans should read. We have been led astray by the democrats and their self-serving programs. We need to take things back to normality and this book shows how to do it.
The first great improve-yourself advice book in America, the model for all the others.
What a character. I recommend following this work with a well-written biography, for example Walter Isaacson's, in order to gain deeper insight into the idiosyncrasies of Franklin the man and the ironies of Franklin the autobiographer. All in all, this is a beautiful glimpse of colonial Americanness, of what is often pejoratively called Protestant work ethic (on which so much of our culture and great literature are built), and of civic-minded virtue.
